You can ABSOLUTELY SLI with 750 watts, even more when the efiiciency is 80+ Gold. One 980 eats up about 150-165 watts, and two of those makes 330 watts at most. With your average gaming system consuming about 300-400 watts without the GPU(s), 750 watts is enough. But, if you want to be extra safe, get the 850 G2. It`s the same unit but with higher wattage.

Sadly, no. There are three or four limitations:
1, The 4790K only has 16 PCIe lanes, while for SLI, each card in the config must have at least 8 lanes. You can only do 3/4-way SLI with cards that have at least 24 and 32 lanes, respectively.
2, 750 watts is good for 2-way SLI, but 3 or 4 cards draw way more power than that.
3, Your motherboard must have at least 4 PCIe x16 slots spaced adequately as all of the 9xx series cards are at least dual-slot.
4, Your case must have at least 8 PCIe expansion slots as each card is dual slot, they take up 2 expansion slots each.
