Get a 900W power supply, those GTX 780Ti's are gonna use big amounts of power =)

I have the exact same components and i am using the EVGA Supernova 1000G2(chris987 posted the link). It's great. You can OC both GPUs, as well as the CPU without problems.

1300W is overkill.

He has only one card atm, so 1300W might be too much and end up working at something like 50% efficiency when idle.

That's ideal efficiency to some people. Although, on idle, I doubt it'll use up 50%.

I think people are getting a little carried away with the wattage required :lol: 

Considering it's possible to run a single GTX 780ti & i5 4670k on a 450W PSU.

GTX 780ti SLI System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 617W/52 amps.

750W would do it, but go 850W. If you want 1000W that's up to you.

@Scampi: It is not recommended to use up power that close to the total provided by the power supply.

@Scampi: also dont forget that, it was just a test for several minutes under controlled room temps and ideal conditions which doesnt represent the average user. you want your psu to last for years not months! in this case though yes an 850w one would suffice but really 750w isnt enough. what about when both gpu are overclocked?

If your over volting or using extreme souped up 780ti's then sure go upto 1000W. Otherwise 850W is fine....QUALITY 850W like those suggested.
