I recommend Corsair's AX series. Take a look at the AX860i, or the AX1200i if you realy want to have power, not that you won't from the 860i. Edit: The HX series are very good too.

Ahh fair enough, the 780 is quite a mighty card. TDP is 250 Watts, I think it's 87 Watts for the CPU, allow another 100 Watts for the rest of the PC and you're looking at around 400 - 450 Watts as you stand. Add in another 780 so add on another 250 Watts, let's call that 700 Watts maximum power draw. So yeah, your old 850 Watt power supply was probably about right really. This would do the job nicely to replace it:
