Hi! I have been tired of people telling me that my EVGA 600w 80 plus white is a shitty PSU. So now that I'am thinking of going from a 1070 to a 1080ti and maybe SLI in future what do you guys say about this PSU? I might buy it in 2 weeks, I just want to know if is a good one since I'm bad with power supply. xD Is new and 750W 80 plus platinum and pretty cheap. You guys tell me if to buy it or not. Thank you!

Your evga 600w psu should be sufficient to run a GTX1080ti that needs the standard 6 and 8 pin connectors.
Perhaps not for one of the highly overclocked versions needing two 8 pin connectors.
I would try your evga unit and see.

If you will buy a replacement, look for a tier 1 or 2 unit from a list such as this:

Seasonic is always good.
The focus has been highly reviewed.

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

SLI is not a very good thing if you can avoid it.
SLI is prone to stuttering, screen tearing, and non support in some games.
Hopefully, a stronger than GTX1080ti will be available before you need it.

For sli gtx1080ti, 850w would be about right.

They are OK, not a bad unit, but there is better around in the same price range.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/9928/the-rosewill-quark-series-psu-review shows that they cut a few corners and there are some other concerns. Overall it looks to be a nice PSU. Personally I would opt for something like the EVGA 650W G3. That gives me a 10 year RMA window. The Quark comes with a 5 year warranty.

1. Your EVGA 600w w1 definitely isn't 'shitty', it is just below mediocre.

2. The Rosewill Quark is a pretty good quality unit, as proven by numerous professional reviews.

3. It is fully modular.

4. What price and currency are you paying for it? what is your location?

I saw the Seasonic Focus 850w plus gold. I found it around 110 dollars. Is that a good PSU? I just want to make sure, before I buy anything.

Corsair RMX 850W cost 125 dollars with shipping included. Sad thing, there is only 1 available, and I will get the money in 2 weeks.

So you guys have recommended me these PSU:

1. Seasonic FOCUS Plus 850W 80+ Gold Full modular

2. Corsair RMX 850W 80 Plus Gold

3. Others say, that the one I said, is a very good PSU.

So, out of those 3 which one is the best one for a 1080ti OC, and 2 screens?

Could be you please answer my question first so we can find you the best PSU available to you?

You can't go wrong with either Seasonic Focus or Corsair RMx, both are better than the Rosewill Quark. Though, the quark is still a pretty good unit.

That Quark is overprices at $100. The Corsair RMx is overpriced at $125. For that price you can get a Seasonic Prime Gold.

Otherwise, I suggest one of these: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/MfJwrH,dMM323,wmJkcf,64cMnQ/ All are great quality and below $100.
