I'm looking to buy a white power supply unit (PSU) and I've hit a few issues. I need a PSU with 4 PCI-E slots available—3 for my GPU (a 9070 XT) and 1 for the iCUE link. I was initially planning to get the Seasonic Focus GX-1000, but it only has 3 PCI-E slots, which won't cut it. I also considered the Corsair Shift PSU, but since my case is an O11 Dynamic Evo White, the drive cage might block enough room for the PSU cables. Now I'm thinking about getting a Corsair RM 1000x and ordering separate white cables, but I've also seen the Lian Li Edge PSU and I'm unsure about its reliability. Any suggestions you have to help me figure this out would be much appreciated! Thanks!

You didn’t mention your CPU, but honestly, you probably don’t need a 1000W power supply for your build. A good option is the ADATA XPG Core Reactor II 850W PSU; it’s in white, high-quality, and has 6 PCI-E 6+2 connections to spare. It should fit nicely in your case too! You can check it out on PCPartPicker for about $125.
What CPU are you using with that? Just wondering if 850W would be sufficient.
