Oh damn, didn't notice it said SLI. Sorry about that. With two 980 Ti's, 750W is just about enough, but you might want to go a little higher to be safe with the overclocking and all.

There's the EVGA B2 850W for example, just a higher-wattage version of the unit I suggested above. An XFX Core Edition 850W is arguably a little higher quality, and the Antec HCG-850M is a modular version of the same unit. And finally an EVGA]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-210gq0850]EVGA GQ 850W[/url] if you'd like the higher efficiency.

That's what I thought, the minimum recommended for Sli 980Ti's is 850w but with a 5Ggz OC on the cpu I guess you will be overclocking the GPU's too. I would get 1000w, it is a bit overkill but gives plenty of headroom for overclocking, no need to buy a PSU that is going to be stressed. Also for such a system you want nothing less than a tier 1. Don't get anything less than 850w
 
Evga P2 850 would be worth considering, esp for $109. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HMgCsY Evga G2 and above are all reputable and reliable, as are Seasonic's equivalents. Corsair's RM series is also decent without being too pricey. Antec HCP platinum 850 would be an excellent choice also, if a bit pricey. Also, just wanted to point out that you could get a Samsung 850 Pro 1Tb for nearly the same price as the choice you listed, and unless you're sure you need that 4Tb in HDD storage, 2Tb would still give you plenty of storage and save you some $$ which could be perhaps spent elsewhere on your sys.

Note: Sizzling makes a good point, if you're going to be oc'ing the gpus you may want to consider a 1kw psu.
