PSU question r9 290x Tri-x

[infoW]

I'm building a new system soon and i was wondering how many watts i need to run this:

MOBO: Asus maximus vi hero
RAM: g.skill trident x series 16gb 2x
CPU: intel i7 4770k
GPU: 2x r9 290x tri-x
SSD: 1

Quality 850 watt will handle it although 1000watt is recommended http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm
Measured power consumption http://anandtech.com/show/7492/the-geforce-gtx-780-ti-review/15

Either a Seasonic Platinum, X series or Corsair RM, AX or HX series of 1000W or more.

I personally like and prefer xfx because it is seasonic made, but the evga supernova is actually pretty good made by super flower leadex, plus at $169.99 for 1000W it makes a good case for itself.
