It will be fine. I have an 850w and will be running dual GTX 780Ti(s) shortly.

just as long as they are the same make and model of 780Ti GPUs then you can sli them but if they are not then it wont work Nvidia is stingy like that also yes 860w psu should be good for 780ti sli

They don't have to be the same make and model all that is required for SLI is that they use the same gpu and same amount of vram. I have had and seen many SLI configurations with different make and models.

I have run 2 evga gtx 580s with a MSI and an Asus card in 4 way SLI. Currently running 2 gigabyte 770's(same manufacture but different models) and have ran a 3rd Evga card(borrowed from a friend for testing purposes). While having matching cards is preferred it's not required.

maybe I just misinterpret what he said as I remember he said "should be" he didnt say "has to" so sorry for the misinformed advice
