How much do yo think my current build needs, my current one is 850 watts. Here is my build, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Guled/saved/vQJmP6. I also found a semi silver+ certified 1000 watts for the same price, (it's 80 dollars off!). Also would I pay more for a 1000 watt power supply then a 850 watt power supply if I'm using like 790 watts. I'm asking this question because I have a 430 dollar graphics card and a very expensive CPU. I saved up for over 4 years and don't want to get a bad power supply or make my parents pay too much for the electric bill.
Is my power supply strong enough

evga g2 850w can even handle 2xR9 290 you dont need to go higher. if crossfiring isnt in your plans this would be more than enough and save some bucks.
