Another "which psu" thread

I'll either be getting a EVGA or Superflower psu, my rig will have a i5 4690k (overclocked) and two gtx 980 in sli (overclocked) now would a 850 watt psu suffice or would I need a 1000 watt?

the 850 would be fine m8

850w from either of those brands should be plenty, im running older more power hungry 780's and an overclocked 4790k on a 1000w sf leadex platinum. Seeing about 620w max total system and monitor power draw at the wall when gaming. The evga G2 psu's are simply rebadged superflower units, but with a stonking 10 year warranty. This would swing it for a lot of potential buyers.

Cheers I thought 850 should be okay but was just checking, I did go on a few psu calculator websites and they put some doubt in my mind with a range of results some with a 200 watt difference! I'll probably go with the EVGA G2, 10 year warranty is insane which shows there confidence in the product. Oh and on a side note the psu calculator on the corsair website has the 980Ti in the gpu list! hmmm interesting
