Nope, 920W is wayyy more than is actually required, that would be enough to run two 300W cards, a super power hungry CPU and then overclock somemore.

Guru3d showed 2 780TI SLI pulling 617W from the wall so a good 850W unit will be more than enough and still leave you with about a 300W buffer of PSU capacity(617W at the wall is about 550W from PSU).
