So as far as system specs here's what I got.

 

Asus z97-a usb 3.1

Intel i5 4690k 4.5ghz oc

16gb Evga ram 2133

Evga GTX 980 ti ACX 2.01400mhz boost clock

Seagate Barracuda 2tb drives (two of them)

Samsung 850 Evo 128gb ssd

2 120mm intake fans, one 120mm exhaust on rear, 2 140mm fans, and a Corsair H110i for cooling

Optical drive 

 

This is all powered by an 850w OCZ ZX series power supply. If I wanted to sli another Evga 980ti ACX would this be enough power, or would I need to upgrade my psu?

Yea I know at the time I got this unit it was good quality. It's a bit older but is still running just fine.

It can handle sli, but I would diffidently get a more higher end PSU. EVGA g2/p2 are my recommendations.  

The OCZ ZX is a super nice Seasonic unit. No need to replace it with a PSU that isn't much better.

You're fine. If you ever upgrade past the consumer level Intel platform then get a higher-wattage unit. (IE, 6800k/5960X etc)

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