1st time poster, need some PSU advice

Hello all, I'm looking to make the big jump to a 3 monitor setup. My goal is 60 fps in 1080p on all 3. But I'm ok if super demanding games are just playable(30~ fps).

 

Here's my question:

I have a Corsair HX850 PSU, will it be sufficient to feed 2 R9 290 GPUs and an FX8350?

If so, would I have the headroom to oc the CPU(I drool at the thought of 5ghz)?

 

There are no other significant drains on the system. I keep getting different results from PSU calculators. What do you guys think?

Yes, you should be able to push it to 5ghz but it depends on how good the chip is you got.

For air the Dark Rock Pro 3 may look a bit expensive but cools just as good as the AIO liquid coolers.
