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 funny how much overkill people recommend for PSUs i doubt this system will bull more then 800

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.

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.
