i run a corsair hx 850 (gold) with not one issue at all, cpu and gpus are over clocked

Hi toyking22
How many watts is your system pulling folding those 980ti's?

i dont have a way to measure it yet, i was going to order a power meter reader in the next few months or so

V84x4
I have a 850 supernova & was wondering the same thing
as I am going to buy another 980 ti Classy this Christmas to run SLI
 
So I called Brandon at evga tech support
and he recommended the 1K over the 850
 
I feel its better to have more power than you need as it is an investment and future proof
 
Regards rick

he already has the 850,, no need to spend more to have a little more head room when it would already work.

I wasn't going to touch this thread...  what the heck!  I think you'll be fine with 850w.  I would, however, try to get my hands on a meter and find out for yourself.  I wouldn't assume 850w was OK, especially if you overclock.  At that point you can upgrade if need be. 
 
I posted my parts list once and was called stupid by the 'Internet experts' because I was buying a 1200w PSU.  I know plenty about electronics and hadn't asked about PSUs, but the critters came out of the woodwork once the topic came up.  Some said 1000w was overkill.
 
I quickly found out that I had to turn off the TV (240w) if I wanted to stress my PC.  I might have have a 'suspect' breaker and plan on replacing it.  That led me to borrow my nephew's meter and I found the PC was pulling 1107w under full load.  I'm glad I didn't listen to some people that said 1000w was an overkill.  Anyway, I went with a 1200w supernova so I had room to grow (I thought 1200w was overkill).  If I did it over, I'd get a 1500w.  I just didn't see any sense in spending money on a nice rig (980 Tis aren't cheap) and then trying to save a few bucks on the PSU (within reason of course).  You already have an nice 850w PSU.  However, I'd be prepared to get a bigger one if need be.
 
For reference, I have a 5960x and 2 980 Ti Hydro Coppers.  Overclocking obviously makes a huge difference.  I'm going to buy a meter (verify that 1107w) and do some tests between stock/overclock.

I'm using one right now on my surround gaming rig . Running à i5 4670k , no o/c , a 980 to SC , a gtx 760 for physx . Called evga and asked if it was enough . Tech replied I can run 2 of the 980 it's in sli on it just fine .

You can talk about theory's all day. If you want to recommend people get a 1600w PSU to be ready for overclocking and having 20 hard drives, go ahead. But it's ridiculous, that reviewer uses a i7 5960X which uses 1.375v-1.425v to get his operating speed. That's twice the amount of power of a i7 4770K. He could easily get away with a gold/platinum certified 650w PSU on a GTX 980Ti set-up.

You should be more than fine with a 850W unit.

I'm running 2x980 Ti SLI myself in combination with an oc'ed 5820k, while gaming the system draws around ~ 680W out of the wall.

If you want to go for a hardcore OC you might consider buying a 1kW unit!
