Need help picking a PSU

Justin92

Hello All..

 

   I've recently started buying parts to start a new build so far I have 

. Intel core i7-7700k (plan on overclocking as far as I can)

. MSI Z27O M7 gaming mother board 

. G-SKILL TRIDENT RBG DDR4 3200 8X2 RAM 

. Corsair 570x case 

I plan on getting a gtx 1080ti maybe 2 in sli and overclocking them 

Plus 2 sata ssd' s one will be at least 1tb

Plan on doing a 360mm AIO cooler for the cpu 

There will be a total 9 fans 

 I put this into the newegg calculator and it recommends about and 850w psu 

I built it on pcpartspicker and it recommends about a 1200w(I guess because of the overclocking) 

So I'm a little stuck on picking a power supply any suggestions would be great. money isn't really an issue because I want to build it right  and I've read a psu is one part you don't want skimp out on thanks for any help

For an overclocked 7700K and two 1080Tis I'd recommend at least an 850W PSU.

 

If I recall correctly, you can find a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 850W can be found for less than 100 USD online.
