Can i power a new build with:
i7 4790k overclocked at 4.7Ghz 1.28v (trying for that)
Swiftech H320
3x Bitfenix Spectre Pro 120mm PWM fans, 4x Bitfenix Spectre Pro 140mm (not LED)
2x XFX Radeon R9 290X Double Dissipation in Crossfire overclocked to 1100mhz on gpu (trying for that)
ADATA SP900 256GB
Western Digital WD 1TB Black
2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz ram
Can i power that with an EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W G2?? im pretty sure i would cut it close?

1000w is enough for that rig! you can even put 2 r9 295x2s in there!

Are you sure? ill wait until all the people with badges come in and see what happens. If they agree with you ill select you as solution. Thanks anyway, im just unsure because im overclocking and some people say yes some people say no if your overclocking and i havent seen a post where someones doing a slight overclock so i just need to be sure.

The CPU overclock will have it running like an FX 8 core in terms of wattage.

Under full load i think it will easily see 800-900W depending on specific application or game.

With the the two beefy GPU's in Xfire i would go with the 1200W version of that PSU to leave headroom.

The 1000W G2 will be perfect for your build! It'll handle the OC'ed cards perfectly. It shouldn't cut it close at all.
Enjoy! It's an excellent PSU. The P2 1200W is even better, if you can afford it. :)

Okay guys i have 3 choices,
EVGA SuperNova 1000W G2 (good reviews, middle in terms of price, wouldnt need cable kit, might not power overclocked build)
Enermax Revolution 87+ 1200W Gold (costs least, good reviews, would get cable kit later on, would power overclocked build)
Seasonic X-1050 80Plus Gold 1050W (Great Brand, Amazing reviews, would get cable kit later on, have more of a chance of powering the build, costs a bit more than the EVGA)
Do a bit of research on each, dont just take in what i said.
The colour of the PSU itself or the look doesnt matter because it will be covered, the cables will matter as of course they will be seen, each PSU isnt far from the other in terms of price. Thanks for the help so far and any help further on :)

Eitehr evga or seasonic will be fine, both are reliable manufacturers, but 1000w will be more than enough so I'd advise you to go evga :)
