I am going to get 4 R9 290'x for mining and I don't know which one to get.I've added it all up and I need about 1200w but would the XFX Pro 1000w be enough for those GPUs?

Monster energy is a nice power supply. You have Redbull as an alternative but I would recommend Monster.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I would recommend against an AX1200i for a mining rig just because it has a lot of features that aren't applicable, just go for the cheapest 1200W you can find, something like a Silverstone Strider will be far better value.

Anyway, 4 x 290x is such bad value for mining compared to 280x, given you can probably get like 6 or 7 280x's for the price.
