Is my PSU enough for my system?

edanexo

A topic covered infinite amount of times, trust me I know >>> http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/199255-how-many-watts-do-i-need-check-here/. Yet I would like some CONFIRMATION since I think my situation calls for it. I have an EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC+ GAMING ACX 2.0+ and a Cooler Master V850 PSU and I want to know if adding a second graphics card (identical to the one I have) in SLI will be ok? I will be running everything at STOCK except ofc the graphics cards which come factory clocked, but other than that NOTHING. I also will not UPGRADE or change ANYTHING in this system, so I'm not looking for any headroom whatsoever. Here is my system:

 

i7 4790K (stock)

2 EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC+ GAMING ACX 2.0+ (factory clocked)

16GB DDR3

1 SSD (250GB)

1 HDD (1TB)

1 Optical Drive

Z97 MOBO

Cooler Master V850 PSU

 

Here's EVGA's power consumption chart: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=06G-P4-4995-KR

 

I realize if I had bought a 1000w PSU I wouldn't have to meditate this problem and ask for help, my mistake I'll live with, but since the reality is I already got the V850, will it be enough to live a good life if I utilize my system at full load (for 3d rendering and such) considering my pretty basic unoverclocked-not-planning-on-upgrading-at-all system? My opinion is I think I will be ok, but I'm not sure and would like your input, thank you!
