You can get away with lower wattage PSUs, unless you have a crazy overkill pc

I highly doubt that you need 1000W. I got 2 780ti's running 750W. Get one with a smaller wattage and a gold rating. Check Linus's video on SLI scaling. He's got 4 of 980 GPU's running on a 1000W PSU.

but im not sure about the quality of the psu. You see it onlys says  88% peak efficiency which isnt a real measurement apparently according to linus's techquickie video on choosing the correct psu. he also states not to buy a psu with only peak efficiency advertised and not continuous. but please correct me if im wrong.....

I believe you're right, if memory treats me well. It's best to have a look at a proper PSU review before buying one.
