Wanted to know if I should get a new psu to power it. Here is my current build:

I've been eyeing the Seasonic 1200W Platinum

 

Any help would be great!

The 850w should be more than fine.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

You shouldn't need a new PSU as far as I know.  However my recommendation would be so upgrade your CPU waay before your GPUs

ehh what do you need 2 980TI's for, 4K gaming?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

1200w is overkill. Are you going to overclock at all? I went with 2 Way Titan X SLI and a EVGA 1000w p2 Supernova.

Love cats and Linus. Check out linuscattips-fan-club. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Z9QDVn and Asus ROG Swift. I love anime as well. Check out Heaven Society heaven-society. My own personal giveaway thread http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/387856-evga-geforce-gtx-970-giveaway-presented-by-grimneo/.

I've heard this before. What CPU do you recommend? I want to move on to x99 when I absolutely find it necessary.

They might bottleneck your i5-4690k in some areas.. 3-way 980s nearly bottleneck a 5960k ( JayzTwoCents old skunkworks before 3 Titan X's)
