Hello, recently I posted a thread in which I asked if a 850w 80 plus PSU is enough to run 2 SLI GTX 770s with my system specs, but now, I've decided that I rather save up and buy a brand new shiny sapphire 295x2 AMD, quite the upgrade? maybe, but the problem is that, as far as ive read, these 2 configurations use up pretty much the same power at peak conditions, but other websites suggest that I need a few more wattage (up to 20 more), aswel as having a little bit to spare (down to 20 less), so I need some expert advice!
Rig:
*i7-4770 k OC 4.3GHz
*gigabyte G1.sniper 5 (LGA 1150 socket* cause that apparently matters)
*2x8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Ram 1600Mhz
*SSD 120Gb SATA III and 2Tb HDD SATA III
*Blu-ray rw burner (reads and burns)
*2 system fans and 1 Liquid cooling radiator (cooler master Seidon 120M)
Please help me with this, whatever the answer is I am buying the 295x2, all I need to know is if I have enough PSU wattage or If I need to save up for a new one aswel.

Thanks for your time!

ok, but this is what keeps me worried, it says RECOMMENDED, and having to save up that bit more, would essentially mean delaying the whole upgrade, so I need to know if its really NEEDED or RECOMMENDED.

alright, well, I made up my mind, anyway, if I trade the 850w for a discount on the 1000W It wouldn't be so bad, and ill see if I get that one, as good as it is, I don't live in the us, and tech importing taxes are of 30%, so it something to have in mind...
