Dual 1080ti + new PSU/Motherboard

[theguywhoroutes]

I recently bought a new mobo to get onto SLI (MSI Z170A Gaming M5 because my current mobo couldn't support SLI, only crossfire) but wanted to make sure I bought a sufficient PSU. I've been reading around 850+w should be minimum for 1080ti SLI? Would the corsair RMi1000w be ideal for dual MSI 1080ti's? I went ahead and preordered 2 MSI 1080ti's because people are saying they may be out in the next few weeks but wanted to make sure that PSU will be perfect before ordering it?

4K 60+ fps gaming at max settings must be his minimum standard xD.

hi, sorry I am looking to play 4K since I've sold my 1440p monitor, but the reason was honestly I had money to waste (sold my cisco lab + got a big bonus from work), it might of not been the best option but I thought I'd treat myself haha

Minimum 750W, I'd get a quality 850W like EVGA's G2 or G3

yes a 1000w power supply is more than enough, I have the same one for my 980ti sli setup, most of the time fan isnt even on. 

power should be about 700w (2x250w +130+ a bit more) at a stresstest max but by the time you add overclocks it could in theory exceed 800w

depending on the rest of your system...

my system pulls 180w at idle and 450w while mining so full GPU load is about 270w. so for SLI 1080ti in an overclocked x99 system you would probably want an 850w PSU.

 

a quad-core platform would require much less. for example my i3-6100 system pulls 35w at idle. so if it had SLI 1080ti it might only need a 600-700w PSU

oh i see, I have an 6700K clocked aat 4.8GHz and to be 100% honest, I wouldn't know how much power that draws? also just 2 drives (ssd and HD)
