“Enough wattage for build? I'm using an Asus Maximus VIII Extreme motherboard, 2 980 TI's in SLI with basic components & was wondering if some would please give me an idea if this is enough wattage or should I go with a 1000W PSU?”

The 850W power supply should probably be enough for your build. I'm using this particular power supply to power to 770 FTW cards, which are a bit older but still draw the same amount of power. If you're worried about which PSU to get, you can use the "wattage calculator" on EVGA's website. It's found at this link. http://www.evga.com/power-meter/ If you say that you're overclocking your CPU, then the wattage calculator will vastly overestimate how many watts you need. So I would recommend not checking that box. After you do the wattage calculator you'll also get a coupon for 10% off a power supply!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it should be. You can go to pcpartpicker.com/ or evga.com and plug in all your hardware and it will give you a estimate of your power needed for your build.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This should be plenty. I would wait though, save your money and get a single GTX1080 which should be a better performer.
