I mean, the 5820k does have those bottlenecked PCI lanes but ok.

850W is a good amount for two 390s, 750W is already more than enough for two 970s. The aforementioned Seasonic and EVGA G2/GQ/GS series are good options.

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

There's no hard and fast "EVGA is better than Corsair" because neither company actually manufactures the PSUs they sell. There are a few good options from Corsair, though they're typically kinda overpriced.

Here in the UK they're around the same price, well the RM series is atleast. Both about £110 for an 850w PSU. 

 

Edit: Theres about £7/8 difference between the 2 on amazon right now

All the aforementioned EVGA units are better than the yellow RM series for your money.
