Good morning,
I am going to buy these items:
I7 3930k
Evga Gtx 780
Rampage IV extreme
Kingston (8x2) 2400
HDD WD 2Tb Black
SSD Samsung 840 pro 256Gb
Windows 7

So what do you recommend for a compatible great psu?

Thanks! :)

Seasonic is considered up there, if not the best PSU manufacturer. The main reason why Corsair and XFX units are recommended are because they are Seasonic designs and workmanship.

It is better, but are you willing to pay $40 more for a small bump in efficiency?

Great, but I'm looking for 1200 watt or more. So I can use 4x 780 if needed:)
 
You dont want to Quad-SLI 780's, the performance scaling beyond two cards is pretty bad (50%) and beyond three drops to about 10-15%. Plus, what could you be doing that would require four of them? Even triple 1440p monitors I dont think would need that much GPU grunt.

If the answer is compute, then go for a Titan.

You are kidding!..this is disappointing. Ok let's say 2x 780 with water cooling do that need 1200 watt? I don't want to change my psu in the future!
