860W is cutting it for 3 780's.

that's plenty, my brother uses an AX750 and he has no problems with 780 SLI

if you look  closely, i think hes keeping the 860 and is gonna end up with 3 780s

if you are going to use 2, you should be okay.  3 or more, id say upgrade the psu

oh i misread the "2 more" 

 

if its 2 more, then maybe, 860W is cutting it though.

possibly, but it might not be as stable as you would like and would definitely not handle any overclock

It's not gonna hold 3 780 under load.

 

Definitely upgrade the PSU to something like 1000W

 

Or Sell your GPU and buy 2 980 Tis. It's worth.

yeahh, if you're overclocking the GPUs then I'd get at least 1000W

Definitely not the worst idea. I am grabbing the two more 780s through a guy on craigslist, for $400. I have confirmed the gpus are working too.

Good.

 

But I prefer on buying the latest card.

 

780 is still a powerful card. But it's just my opinion.
