Posted May 12, 2016 At most for two 960's you'd need is a 600w. But why are you getting two 960s?

It will tell you exactly how much wattage all your components will need. I would say a 750W powe supply will be plenty though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are going to be using the 2 960s after you get the 980tis. It seems like a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, 750w power supply should be ample for 2 960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 12, 2016 The way I think about it is: Cheap- Corsair CX(wattage)m Solid- EVGA 750W Gold (Has nice cables too) Expensive- Corsair 760W You probably want to aim for the EVGA level. (EVGA 750W Gold Certified Power Supply (Fully Modular) is what I have.)

Something I think you should consider would be, are you really going to do a full waterloop and oc? I went into my build thinking I would do a full waterloop but never did - it involves a ton of work and really is for people with a good understanding of computers etc. The AIO's do a decent enough job, or top end aircooling gets close to the full loop and will provide a good gaming experience with little maintenance down the road.
