Ask the shop that you got the 780s from. I gather you just want to return them, not swap them. They might charge you a restock fee - say $20 for each card.

You'd need a 1000W PSU eg EVGA Supernova 1000W, Seasonic X1050

Supernova is cheaper. They are both tier 1 - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...
