Power Supply Help

So basically I will be building a new computer that will be running on these components and I don't want to hear anything about overkill or things like that cause I don't really care I already have the 2 780ti's anyway.

-i7 4790k Processor
-2 780ti's on SLI
-8gb Corsair Memory
-250GB SSD
-3TB WD HDD
-Corsair H110 CPU cooler
-2 Aftermarket Case Fans
-2 Monitors

So my question is what is the minimum amount of Watts that I should be getting for this build? I was thinking of the Corsair RM Series 1000 Watt Gold Power Supply, but I am not sure with all these components.

1000W probably should be enough assuming that you don't overclock them however if you do I would get a 1100/1200W PSU just to be on the safe side.

850 Watts is fine for a machine with SLi 780ti's. You'll only need a higher wattage if you're going to do serious overvolting on the GPU's/CPU.

I will probably only overclock the cpu, so you reckon the 1000W will be fine?

Its not really overkill, he said he was overclocking and if he ever wants to make any upgrades it wouldn't be a bad idea for his psu to have some leeway to work with.

Your build would probably run fine on a 750 at minimum, although I wouldn't recommend it. To be safe I would get a 800+ PSU if you're looking for a non-overclocked system. If you're looking to overclock, then you may want to get a 900+ PSU just to be safe.
