ok, i added a psu that will work. it was the cheapest i could find that had atleast 120amps on the 12v rail (it has 6 12v rails at 30 amps each) cuz each 780ti takes up to 59 amps.

So I need 1350w powersupply for my build? 850 is not enough I seen that the 750ti uses 250 each so I got 350 to spare right and the cpu takes 84watts and the only thing left would be a 12v pump i might be wrong but 1350w seems like alot

For a system using one GTX 780 Ti video card Nvidia specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 42 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Yes a 850w platinum is perfect. Gives you enough room to overclock your cpu/gpu.

 
For a system using two GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 850 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 67 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin and two 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The Swiftech MCP 655 pump will draw 21 Watts if you decide to add it.

What's wrong with the Corsair AX860i that you chose? It's one of the best power supplies on the market.
 


the psu you listed does not have the recommended amount of amps on the 12v rail.
 


Please explain how a GeForce GTX 780 Ti that has a 250 Watt TDP draws 59 Amps as you claim?

An EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler 3 GB [03G-P4-2884-KR] card draws less than 24 Amps from the +12V rails. That's just for the graphics card itself.

Lol so the evga1300w is no good and the 860i I would get but I wanna sli later down the road and Im not sure if id be able to so I wanna by a powersupply now that way when I sli I dont gotta trash it and by a new one and danbuscus you seem to know what your talking about and the powersupply you listed for 365$ is the cheapest you could find
 


I specifically gave you the system power supply requirement for two GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode. How is it not enough?

So k0888 the 860i would be good if I went sli and I seen on the website that it says 250 so and cpu is 84 and pump is 12v so if I overclocked I though it would of worked but he says it goes by amps or w.e I have no idea just need a answer im rdy to build my pc lmfao
 


Yes, as I've said in my replies above, the Corsair AX860i will handle two GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode.
 


No it doesn't.

The reference system configuration that NVIDIA uses to determine the system power supply requirements draws a total of 42 Amps from the +12V rails and that includes the graphics card's current draw.

The reference system is based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7-3930K 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.
