PSU broke, need a replacement [help]

[eddywatson]

Hello
I was using a Corsair RM1000X PSU and this morning when i turned it on at the wall there was a spark and a burning smell coming from the back bottom of my PC

It wont turn on now at all (ive tried different wall sockets)

So I was going to buy a new PSU but I am not sure which one I need. Below is a list of things I have:

I7-6950X
MSI 2080ti
32GB HyperX SAVAGE DDR4 3000MHz (4 x 8GB Kit)
Gigabyte X99 Ultra Gaming: ATX, LG2011-3, USB 3.1, SATA 6GBs, XFIRE/SLI
512GB SAMSUNG SM951 M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 2150MB/R, 1550MB/W
1TB Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" SSD, SATA 6Gb/s (upto 540MB/sR | 520MB/sW)
16x BLU-RAY WRITER DRIVE, 16x DVD ±R/±RW
Corsair H100i V2 Hydro Cooler w/ PCS Liquid Series Ultra Quiet Fans
Creative Sound Blaster ZxR 5.1 PCI-E Soundcard
WIRELESS 802.11 AC1900 1,300Mbps/5GHz, 600Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD

What WATT should I be looking at to be buying a new PSU?
the only local place is currys PCworld and they have EVGA 750 GOLD or a Corsair 750 Bronze. is 750 enough?

I was hoping to buy today as I really need my PC for work (Iam using a laptop to write this)

is 1000 overkill? what wattage should I be realistically looking for?
Thank you

Unless overclocking you don't need 1kW for that.
Though if it's this particular graphics card 850W wouldn't be that exaggerating:

But high quality 750W PSU would be enough for gaming if everything is at stock settings, or less factory overclocked.

Anyway with those super expensive parts you anyway you should completely forget anything below 80+ Gold as medieval designs.
And standard cheap component PSUs like that Corsair should be entirely out of question.
Heck, with price of that graphics card 80+ Platinum certainly shouldn't bee too much.
And considering GPU has very little value left after five years and PSU is still good, even 80+ Titanium would't be much.

EVGA has lots of different models and it's hard to tell what's inside what, so hard to tell how good it is.

Seasonic Focus Plus is the best priced from 10 year warranty PSUs.

Seasonic Prime is top serie with more component oversizing and 12 year warranty.
