I'll be running 4790k, ASUS Gryphon Z97 Armor Kit, SLI ASUS STRIX 980 Ti, and some watercooling.

I don't need memory in the loop.

How many watts do I need, what case, and radiator sizes?

first see how many rads you need then how many watt and the case.

one 280/240 rad for each thing you want to cool is the best.

As far as I can see you want to0 cool three things in your loop so 3x 280/240 would be enough.

Check https://pcpartpicker.com/ and put your parts in, It will say the wattage needed, and then get more than that just in case

outervision.com/power-supply-calculator has an 'expert' setting that can help if you have a specific overclock in mind and want to see the extra wattage for the water cooling parts too. Calculators can be a bit conservative though so just use it as a guide. 

If you make a post contradicting mine that doesn't directly address my claims, or cites 'facts' without evidence, I'm probably not going to bother responding to it, because you probably didn't bother reading my post properly, and because life is too short. It doesn't mean I don't have an answer for you. It means I'm not dignifying you with a response.

Is this right, it says recommended PSU wattage is 1210 and 1600 watt PSU EVGA is reccomended

No, 850W is already more than you need. 

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
