Will 850W be enough for my build?

[hellfire95]

Hi. I am thinking of building my rig since my gaming laptop no more plays new titles on high settings. Will my PSU of choice be able to handle GTX 780 SLI? I will be doing SLI next year on my build. My build is:

i5-4670K
Asus Z87 PRO Motherboard
Palit GTX 780 Super Jetstream
2 × Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" HDD
(2×4)8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866MHz
Asus 24X DVD-R/RW
Corsair Carbide 500R Mid-Tower Case
Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 850W 80+ silver certified
ASUS VG248QE 144Hz Monitor

I am newbie in overclocking. So, I won't be overclocking extremely, just a bit of overclocking.

Yes, It would be enough. The PSU you have chosen is a Tier 3 PSU though.

What do you mean by Tier 3?

If you can find this one. If not then look Super Flower or Seasonic.
