860W enough for this?

I'm sorry, I know I've posted this before, but just before the GTX 1080's came out. Will a Corsair AX860i be enough for two GTX 1080's and a 5930k, all three overclocked to their limit. I will also have a custom water cooling loop and 4 SSD's. I just want to be sure before I buy the power supply during the memorial day sale for Corsair.

Definitely! It won't even break a sweat even if you OC!

More than fine.

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

yes, it should be more then adequate.

 

your CPU is going to be a bottleneck though. dual/tri TitanX is completely chocking on a 5960x (JayZtwocents)

Yeah I've never had a concern for bottlenecking until now. We'll see what happens, but Intel's new 2011v3 chipsets are just around the corner, I just hope they aren't too expensive.

 

EDIT: However shouldn't 6 cores/12 threads at (just throwing out a random O.C. here of 4GHz), be plenty for just the two cards?
