I am starting a massive build in my new CaseLabs SMA8 with an i7/i9 six core chip (whichever they end up being named), dual 1080tis, and an extensive water cooling setup with 2x 480 rads and lots of fans. I currently have a corsair rm1000i and it's a great power supply, but I'm worried I'm cutting it close on the power draw. Let me know what you guys think, if there's a consensus I need to upgrade then I'll just have to bite the bullet.

you will be getting close to it, as i expect those new cpus to be power hungry, better wait to see what the power consumption of those chips is

(i am considering you will be overcloking it all)

Yes I will be overclocking all the hardware. Seems to me that you guys are pretty sure I'll be safe.

probably not but if was you after tunning the build i would use corsair link to check the consumption when in full power just to make sure its fine.

still you will rarely be with both gpus and cpus at max.

I'll be gaming at 4k and doing some indie film level editing on so I will be watching it closely. Doing the simple TDP addition (and I mean simple because that rarely tells the whole story) I have a bit of headroom, but I'll proceed cautiously. Seeing the mainly positive feedback gives me a bit more confidence in it though.
