Is an 850W enough for two GTX 980 sli and i7-6700K overclocked?

A good brand, good rating one: yes.

750W will suffice for that too.

850W, yes.

 

Can I recommend an EVGA PSU?

 

EDIT - Nvm just saw that you are getting one that will be more than enough. Good luck!

Yes, but two 980s are a waste of your money. For the same price (more or less) you can get two furys, which significantly outperform dual 980s.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

EVGA 850W G2

850W is a tad overkill, even with overclocks. 750W would be more suitable and can save you a bit of money.

don't expect two 980s to be particularly frosty

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
