5960x OC and 2x980 GTX g1, is 850w enough?

[Serial45]

Hey guys,

currently have an Enermax galaxy 850w it's served me well for the past 8 years or so.

I've just had a 980gtx puff up in smoke and figured i may need to re-evaluate my psu requirements.

I'm planning on adding in another 980 g1 to run sli. Would 850w be enough?
Considering the rm 850

Not enough power won't make your graphics go poof. 850w should be more than enough to run the proposed set up. PSU requirements are vastly overstated.

Also, what's a 980 GTX?

Sorry meant a Nvidia 980 G1 force of habit .

My 980TI G1 should be due tomorrow!
