Platinum vs Gold? Crossfire

Hello guys.
I was wondering if, the EVGA G2 850 Gold is enough for Asus R9 290x DirectCU OC Crossfire? 
Or do i have to buy the Corsair AX860 Platinum? 

It's a Gold vs Platinum.. I can spare some money, if i buy the EVGA..

EVGA G2 is excellent PSU. Efficiency doesent matter.

Second

Also with extra money you should deck out your Case

Because he had a hard drive.

Platinum is better in terms of efficiency but regarding those two, they'll both be good for that video card.

Thanks guys! 

The EVGA is mine tomorrow :)

The G2 is a great choice, there's also P2 if you want Platinum from them but like stated above it's not necessary and you'll be perfectly fine with Gold
