Just got a near new ax1200 for £120 was it a good deal

Well I need over 1000w 

You almost certainly don't. 850-900w would be perfectly adequate for a 5GHz overclocked 10980XE and two RTX 2080Tis. Vegas are power hungry yes, but two of them and a HEDT processor would easily be accommodated by a good quality 900-1000w PSU with plenty of headroom.

This guy had it hooked up to a watt o metre and it went over 1kw more than once and I don't want to run a power supply close to the max a Vega 64 can hit 400w when overclocked I don't think a 2080ti hits that stock watts for a Vega is pushing 250w a 2080ti carnt go above 250w according to Nvidia when overclocked the 2080 is also newer and it's 12nm not 14nm like the Vega 

No offence but I don't think anyone who is sane would run 2 Vega 64s on a 850w psu the "minimum" is 1kw according to amd

Vega 64s are nominally 300W TDP cards. You might see a little over 400W stress testing when heavily overclocked but not in regular use even if you are rendering, and certainly not from mining. In reality though most people manage to get both an overclock and an undervolt with a bit of tweaking.

 

The video shows draw at the wall correct? That's probably ~10% higher than the actual power utilisation due to PSU efficiency curves. 

 

All vendors suggest minimum power supplies well over the actual required, as do most PSU calculators. Nvidia suggest a 650W minimum for a 2080Ti bit plenty of people run them on 500s or even less, even overclocked, without issue.
