im planning on buying a new gpu for vr, one option is the fury which i hope to add another down the line. Problem is i have a 620w psu at the moment and will need to upgrade for a second card. Would a 1200w psu be overkill. Would a 1000w work ok. Is there a issue with having a psu that is toooo much watts? what u think guys? Spotted this

I would get the RMX right here.

Corsair RMX Series RM1000x 1000W High Performance 80 Plus Gold PSU
You only use what you draw, so a 1200w PSU will only put out say 600w if thats all you're drawing. Other than making your wallet lighter nothing else to worry about.

Crossfired Furies recommend 950-1000w. I would not get the RM1000 unless it was the 1000x. Otehrwise get yourself an EVGA G2 or P2 PSU instead.
