SOLVED How big of a PSU do I need?

Yeah. I forget what the platform name is, it'll likely be in the JG reviews for them though.
I think all the G2/P2 units are Superflower, though knowing EVGA it wouldn't surprise me hugely if in six months a new G2/P2 SKU is released with a shorter warranty and lower grade parts.
 
While the amount is almost negligible, running a 1.3KW PSU in the 300/400W range is a % or so off peak efficiency so it costs pennies more to run on top of the $25 as well as the suspect MIR.

Unless there are bios and volt mods, or 3+ cards, more than 850W really isn't needed.

Updated specs:

MOBO - EVGA X99 Micro
CPU - i7-5930k
VGA- 2x XFX Core Edition R9-295X2
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series 32GB DDR4 3000 (PC4-24000)
M.2 - Transcend M.2 256GB
Proposed PSU - Corsair AXi1200i

Watercooling components- 4 x Swiftech MCP35X™ - PWM
15 or so PWM fans

1000W (2x VGA)+ 140 (CPU) + 100 for the fans= 1240W
So, is my proposed PSU inadequate? Do I need to go to the 1.5kW just to be safe? I wasn't planning on OCing just yet, but I might want to later...
