Hello there, I was wondering if a 1000w psu, 80+ gold certified will be enough to power two 780 Ti's in sli, asus rampage iv black, and a 4930k? Please respond

(my 1500watt kinda just got fried and I need to find one for a replacement for the time being...)
 


Thanks :)!
 
Many people will way over calculated their system configs. I found (by accident) the link I posted with very similar specs to yours with actual power measurements. I always like to give some extra capacity when choosing a psu for aging and to keep the unit where it works most efficiently. Just because a psu is capable of 1000W does not mean that is how much it will use - the power supplied is dependent on your load. If you can find a great deal on a 1000W supply - go for it. That being said 850W has extra headroom.
