JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE WATTAGE IS RIGHT? Whats a good Wattage Amount I can have

 

the specs of the 980 ti HOF say it requires 600W (for 1 card)

 

basically, whats a good PSU for this build?

[Solarisfire]

Two 980ti?

 

I'd go 1200W...

[Pool]

It's 600W for the whole system. 2 980ti is about 850+W

I'm not sure the 2TB Samsung 850 Pro is the best option here. Unless you plan on filling it up really quickly (e.g. you already have > 1TB of games or other content you'll be transferring over to it) you might be better off getting the 1TB 850 Pro model and using the difference to buy a really fast M.2 drive, like the Samsung SM951. That way you could have a very fast boot drive for some applications/games and use the slower 1TB 850 Pro for any other games or content which you still want fast access to.

evga g2 850w dont look any further

[TheConverter]

WTF... hof in a grey/red build get the Asus Strix or MSI ones.

 

Also 1000$ on a SSD? Better get a 5960X for that money...]

This rig would be beastly, allowing you to upgrade to 32GB and 3 or 4 way SLI in the next 10 years.

850+ should work fine.

 

Damn though one uber large ssd. While I understand the desire to go full solid, I would generally recommend 500 (sm951+ evos/pros is amazing combo)

Nvidia is pretty steady at making video cards for 250 watts as a standard.  So just the 2 cards is 500 watts.  Still need to add in cpu to that which parts picker says 210 Watts but that's without overclocking.  The evga 850 is a nice suggestion with room for overclocking and a buffer after that as to not max out the psu.

Indeed, but you have like 15 SATA ports so it doesn't matter one bit.
