So my PSU is crapping out on me due to load I figured 600W bronze was not enough for my system but my 850 went to crap and it was all I had so now I need a good PSU to put in my build

These were the ones I was looking at I was hoping to stay under $100.00 is there any better options then these? and of the 3 what price to wattage would you chose for a 

 

x99 5820K, Titanx custom loop, 2 HDD, 3 256GB SSD, 32GB ram, 5 fans, and an NZXT hue+ system.

Theoretically, a 600 watt should be enough at stock speeds, but realistically, if you overclock, with a custom loop with power hungry hardware, I would go for an 1000 watt just for future upgrades. Although, you can get by with a 750 watt power supply.

Well the 750W G1 is bad, but the two GQ models should be good if you wanted a 750W EVGA model for 100 or under I'd go with a 750W G2.

 

But the GQs are good PSUs as well, I haven't seen a specific review on the 1000W model but the 850W is really good build quality, and 850W should be plenty for your build but if they are the same price and quality there isn't much downside to going overboard other than a little inefficiency (there aren't fully modular btw but I think they are semi so only the moba cable isn't)

with the rebate it cost about as much as the GQ series you picked out but its a bit better. Its fully modular and the components are made by seasonic

with the rebate on the GQ the GQ 1000W is 29.00 cheaper

The 850W GQ is probably your best bet then, I thought they were all 100 bucks before rebate but apparently I didn't click the 1000W one.

1000W for a single Titan X is a ludicrous waste of money. His system would never breach 400W with a shit ton of overclocking.

A 650W EVGA GS/G2 would be fine. Two Titans would call for 750W +

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

PCPartpicker just adds all the TDP together which =/= power consumption. Guru3D does perfect calculations of wattage parts use.

What 1000W? The EVGA GQ above? As far as I know those have issues with crossloading which you would be doing with SLI. The G2/P2/GS/PS would be better.
