I have a Seasonic 750 watt 80 plus gold psu. I also run a 4820k, 16gb of ram, and a gtx 780. Does this psu have enough power if I add a second gtx 780 for SLI?

It will be perfect for two 780s in SLI.

Ok. I think I will pick up a kilowatt just to make sure I am not drawing too much.

No, you really don't need that much.

Not at all. It's a Seasonic gold, and a system two 780s  overclocked doesn't draw more then 600 ish watts under load. Don't waste money on a 1000W PSU for two 780s.

Seasonic X-760 80plus gold. can power up my TB in sli and a 3930k all 3 of them overclocked.

 

has also a couple of extra not needed stuff I put in my rig just for the same of filling it up and the psu still has room to spare.

You get an answer saying it'll be fine, so you ignore the suggestion anyways? 850W is waaaaay more than enough.

You do know kilowatt means 1000 Watts, right?

This is the way I look at it- PSUs are most efficient between like 50-80% load, so it's better to buy a 1000W PSU and run it at 70% load than it is to run a 750W PSU at 95% load. Having said that, your current PSU should be enough. You will be fine.

I was talking about an electricity usage monitor called a kill a watt. I am not saying I want to buy a 1000 watt psu.
