is this PSU overkill

[lilayzee]

Hello. Building my first gaming PC. I'm pretty much settled on everything. Here is my list https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/lilayZee/saved/PNgtJx
I was going to get a EVGA P2 850W but then I decided I'd want to get a 1000W just for a bit of over kill but I can't seem to find a P2 1000W anywhere. Would getting the 1200W be way to much overkill or should I still be okay with it, or should I just stick with the 850W.
Thanks!

850w is enough to drop in a 2nd 1080Ti for SLI even with overclocking. Another good option is the Seasonic Prime series as they are one of the best series available.

I would go with a Seasonic Prime 750W or 850W if it was my system.

Yes I agree with all of the above.

Cool. Thanks everyone for the tips. I will go for a 850W unit for sure. Why do you guys recommend the prime over the P2 series? I've read about both of them and it kind of seems split down the middle but no one has given any reasons. Does the prime series have any advantages over the EVGA P2?

Seasonic Prime is the best you can get currently.

Between the 2 go with the OEM, Seasonic makes PSU's.

SuperFlower makes EVGA's PSU's. SeaSonic makes SeaSonic PSUs.

Correction: Superflower makes some of EVGAs PSUs. They also have units made by Seasonic, Enhance, FSP, HEC, and Andyson.

Sweet. Thanks again everyone. I have changed my mind, I will go with a seasonic prime 850. Thanks!

Not to disagree with above,but why not use the Corsair RMx 1000watt seem cheaper and very good quality.

for some price comparison.Used the Titanium Prime here since the Gold doesn't seem to be available according to pcpartpicker,doesn't mean it isn't there.Put the 850watt RMx in there as well.
Just to keep some money in the pocket,or spend it on something else,and still have good quality.
