850 is fine for 780ti SLI.

CPU=~100W
GPU=~250Wx2=500W

That's 600 between the main players in your system. mobo is like 15 maybe and everything else is very small. This is all assuming you're running a program that is maxing everything at 100%, which in real world usage is unlikely.

Your EVGA SuperNOVA 850w G2 is more than sufficient to handle the second graphics card.
