Overkill bigtime. You could get 500W and still be fine. 850W could do 3 980tis

I don't think I've ever seen someone underestimate how much power they'd need.

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

Overkill. I would go for a quality 650W personally (for future upgrades) but as others have said, 850W is overkill. 550W has been enough to power i7/980SLI builds so and i7/980ti build shouldn't be much of an issue

That consumption is about 430 watts if I had to judge it (or less, but not more) - you could check on pcpartpicker.com.

 

800W is enough.

The system isn't that different from my main rig (see sig), and I'm using a HX750i PSU. Actually, let me load it up with furmark and Prime95 to see what the PSU reports itself as using... peak value was 488W out on PC side but that didn't last long before my 980Ti hit thermal throttling and it dropped. PSU reporting 93% efficiency at that point (525W at wall).

Gaming system: R7 7800X3D, Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wifi, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB, Corsair Vengeance 2x 32GB 6000C30, RTX 4070, MSI MPG A850G, Fractal Design North, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Productivity system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, 64GB ram (mixed), RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, random 1080p + 720p displays.
Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible
