Hi, i'm wondering if I should use 2 850w psu's or 1 1500w for my mining rig that I will be building. Thanks

So long as you have the necessary connectors off one PSU, then that is the route you should be taking. You would be best sharing your specs with us though in case you've missed something obvious.

Dual power-supplies is popular in mining rigs, if one fails you still have half your hashing power. Also buying two less wattage PSUs is normally cheaper than buying one one huge one, so you get better value per $.
