hi guys, I posted a similar question not long back for a friend but now find myself in the same boat.
I am running the following rig currently

5960x @ 4.5ghz (1.3v)
980ti @ 1500 core
32gb ddr4 2666
Gigabyte motherboard
Corsair aio
5 ssd's
Corsair hx850 v2
Front fan controller

Now not long back I asked the very same question for someone I speak to online, he has the same psu as I have now as I advised him to get one in 2013 and it was on sale. He runs 980ti sli and its fine, now I am thinking of myself picking up a 2nd 980ti but with the overclocks on the cpu and gpus I am questioning if the psu will handle it, now someone posted in the other thread and I think said these power supply's are 90 percent efficient when new, I have had mine sine early 2014. My friend only has a small overclock on his chip and neither myself or he has a wattage tool to measure so was looking for some advice on this if possible. If I need a new psu, I want to keep the cost as low as possible but at the same time make sure it is a gold rated or above and good enough.

Thanks guys for the advice and guidance.
 
Are you sure it will be enough stulid? Looked on a lot on power calculators last night and they where all mad numbers, I know a lot exaggerate the power consumption. The 5960X stock I read pulls 140watt and that's without the extra 1.5ghz overclock according to some sites.
If you are certain I will just get a 2nd one why they are cheap, if you think it's 50/50 can you please link me a psu, thank you for the help.
 
I tried that calculator among others and it was awful. Ok guys thank for all the feedback, I will go ahead and pick one up then in the next few weeks. Thanks a lot all, Stulid please keep the 980ti MSI cards in stock for the next month :)
