Just put your system into the Extreme power supply calculator
Do not know exactly what you have but used 5 120 mm fans CD rom and 20% capacitor age , 1 SSD, 1 spinner
CPU overclock at 4.3 @ 1.33 vcore and video cards at stock both running at 90% TDP
Also did it with no overclock on the CPU
comes out to and it comes out to 856 watts & 906 watts recommended
Based on this my initial thoughts of an 850 doing the job may have been low.
Their is a lot of speculation in this thread. Reality of the situation is there are many factors you yourself have not told us
What are your expectations ??? if we are to assume the sky is the limit it would be easy to say grab a quality 1200 watt unit and call it a day.
That is not that extreme TBH, for me if I were benching 2x 290's and a highly overclocked CPU I would not even attempt it with one power supply of any available wattage or quality.
The other end of the spectrum if you run stock you may want to look at a 900 watt unit
Will you be adding water pumps, fans and drives ??? these are all questions you need to ask yourself.
I typically try to steer clear of these power supply threads as typically we have no idea what the OP's expectations are.
Lastly with no overclock a 10% capacitor age it comes out to 785 watts and 835 watts recommended
I saw his review of the 750? Am I to expect vastly different components in the 850 or will the positive rating still pretty much stand for that unit as well?

Thanks. That's likely the one I'd go with then. $66 seems a pretty good deal. Still doesn't seem that I need it, though I likely will OC the cards at some point..

Yea, that's way more than necessary for one. At some point a few months ago, I was running my PCS+ 290 on an XFX core 550w without issue (I may have even had it OC'd).
