PSU is dead! Spec me a new one

Hey guys,

Building my 5820K build tonight, and powering it all up, turns out my PSU is dead. Not sure how that happened between last night and today.

Anyways: I pulled my girlfriends PSU from her system to check nothing was damaged. Seems to boot fine to the BIOS, not going ANY further until I have a better PSU.

I need a 1000W supply. Looking at the Seasonic P Series 1000w. Best PSU for the money? I hear Seasonic are the best around.

I need to order it tomorrow, so please help me out!

Rest of the specs are:

5820K (Overclocking to 4.5GHz if I can)
Asus X99-S
16GB DDR4
GTX 970 (Upgrading to 980 soon) and with the ability to SLI.

I want a PSU that will last.

A 750w / 850w will be fine for a dual 980 setup.

Edit: 850w will be ok.

Even overclocking my 5820K? I just want to be safe

Looking at either a Seasonic X-Series (shame about the gold) or a SuperFlower Leadex gold. Both look damn good I might have to roll.

I think I'm gonna go for this. I know people recommended the X Gold unit. Still looks superb. But this looks amazing, and has great reviews on JonnyGuru etc
