I really can't decide on a power supply.

I obviously want some headroom, cause I like to overclock a bit.

 

GTX 780 SLI (just 2-way)

 

4790k

 

 

I did the ASUS "Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator" and some reason it said recommended is 1100, while some people have told me 1000w is enough.

750w is enough, but cutting it close. But 850w reliable power supply form a good company and that'll be more than enough power. The calculators grossly over estimate how much wattage the computer will consume.

800-850W will do it... just make sure that you are picking quality PSU.

Thank you all! I think I underestimate how well good power supplies are at handling power draw (still tons of things I don't know about them)

A good 750W such as the EVGA Supernova G2 is enough.

lol you posted in the stickied thread, even with a good overclock you'll easily get away with a quality 800-850W like the EVGA 850G2

I know. I mostly just wasn't sure how accurate ASUS' "Recommended Power Supply" is

 

Sorry I just wanted to be sure  :unsure:

 

Wish I understood power supplies better
