I'm currently getting everything together for a new PC (using some old parts from my old one).

My new PC will be

  • 3700x Ryzen (not OC)
  • 32gb 3200 DDR4
  • x570 motherboard
  • 1080ti EVGA SC2 (not OC)
  • 2 SSDs (500gb and 1tb)
  • 1 HDD (5400 RPM)
  • 3 120mm fans
  • 2 144mm fans

The plan is to eventually purchase another 1080 ti in the future (next year) to help the render times on Octane (gpu render engine). They will not be SLI.

Would an 850 RMX Corsair power supply be enough to eventually support dual 1080ti's or should I spring for the 1000w version to be safe?

Thanks for any help!
