Hello, 

 

Can someone help in deciding whether I should get a corsair RMX 850 or Corsair HI 1000? It's only a $50 different. I am planning to use the RTX 3090 and one of the new AMD Zen 3 cpu (more than likely being the equivalent of the current 3900x at the moment).

Just get the 850. You don't need to go so overpowered.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.

Nothing wrong with either one.

 

The HXI 1000 has the Corsair Link so you can monitor the PSU, switch from Single to Multi Rail etc, adjust fan speed... It has a USB cable that connects to a USB port on the MB so you can use the Corsair ICUE Software to communicate with the PSU.

 

Up to you really in the end.
