Is HX850i enough or should I move up to HX1000i

Hello everybody~

Currently I will be upgrading my rig which has a FX-8350 (on Crosshair Formula-Z) and I will be adding two GTX 970 (G1 Gamings) to it.

And so I was thinking if the HX850i is enough or not and if I should move up to the HX1000i.

Also I'd like to "future-proof" the PSU a little bit so I'm wondering should I shell out the little bit now? Or upgrade at a later point when I will be upgrading the GPUs/the whole rig?

Thanks in advance for any opinions~

*I will be overclocking all three of them (CPU & both GPUs)

Wow, I didn't know that the 8350 would be a bottleneck in this case. Yes, I've already had one GTX 970 and I will be/might be (now) buying another one... Tho with everybody's responses (thank you very much btw) it seems that I might be looking into a CPU and Mobo upgrade :D
