860w enough for GTX 760 4GB SLI?

[Bazooka821]

I'm building a PC and I'm going to have to make a decision on my power supply.

I was going to get a 750w, but I don't think that's enough, so I'm going to go for a 860w, will this be enough?
Also, could a 750w even be enough? If so I could get an 80-plus Platinum 750w supply instead of an 80-plus Gold 860w supply.

The rest of my build is:
MSI Z87-G45
Intel i5 4670K 3.4Ghz (probably going to overclock)
16GB 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM (May overclock to 2133Mhz)
5 fans (3x 120mm, 2x 140mm, one 120mm is LED, both of the 140mm are LED)
2TB HDD (May get a 60GB SDD to put my OS on)
2x Optical Drives DVD-RW
I have 1 4GB 760 right now, but I'm going to SLI them in a while.

Cheers,
Conner.

You should list your hardware build mobo, cpu, mem, drives, cooling, etc? You can also check here:

700W would be enough see http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

The 750W platinum should be fine. My build as an example only draws 660w during max load.

Look at the SeaSonic, which is plenty and has headroom for OCing

Take a look at the new EVGA 850w, the best 850 on the market in my opinion.

Performance (40% of the final score) - we're down to scoring time again. And, as with all other recent units from EVGA and Super Flower, this one will be a breeze to score. Pass for Gold, both cold and hot, means no points removed from a perfect score. Amazing ripple suppression the likes of which has only been seen a handful of times on this site means no points removed there. And finally, yes, this unit did manage to hold onto an average of 1.2% regulation in the hot box so no points come off there, either. This guy's getting a 10.

Functionality (20% of the final score) - full modularity. Lots of cables. Good cable lengths. Plenty of connectors. Switchable semi-fanless mode. Lots of goodies in the box. Nice size 16 gauge line cord. I really can't think of anything to complain about here, either. 10.

Value (20% of the final score) - $144.99 is the asking price of these at Newegg right about now. It shares this price with the Silverstone ST85F-GS. Now, about the only thing that unit has on this one is its much shallower depth. Other competition? What other competition? Coolmax? More money, if you can believe that. Corsair HX850? More money. Corsair RM850? More money. Themaltake Toughpower Grand? More money. Seasonic X-850 KM3? Way more money. EVGA has this category locked right down. 10.

Build Quality (20% of the final score) - I'm going to remove a point for the fan control wiring and be done with it on this one. Soldering is good enough to pass with no deductions, the AC line filter is pretty much all there in the end, the component selections are fantastic, and the capacitors are wall to wall Japanese. 9.5.
