Yes that's the psu I use at the moment, I thought it might struggle running two r295x thanks for the help.

I believe in TTLs tests his PC was drawing nearly 1400W with 2 of these.
So if you can fit 2 PSUs in your case you could get a 2nd smaller one to go with the 1000W, otherwise you might want to go for a 1500W (or higher) PSU.

TTLs review also said there were issues with some games when running 2 of these cards.

Thanks for the advice I have gone for one of these in the end, Silverstone Strider SST-ST1500 "80 Plus Silver" Modular Continour Power Supply - 1600W Peak.
