Hi,

Until I get watercooling for my PC, i'll be running a fairly simply rig other than the 2x 780Ti's. 1 HDD, no SSD, 3 or 4 USB devices etc. The main power consumption will be from 2 ASUS 780Ti Direct CU's, and a 4770k at stock speeds. The GPU's will be OC'd to around 1150 / 7450 if that makes any difference. I have a Corsair TX850M (850W, 80+ Bronze etc) will this suffice? Thanks

Nvidia recommends a psu with atleast 42a on the 12v for the 780, and that recommendation is for the entire system not just the video card so adding a 2nd won't double the required amps. With 2 of the Asus cards(uses more power than the referenc) you'd probably want atleast 65a on the 12v rail with no extra overclocking for dual 780ti's.
