lol 90w for cpu, 150w each gpu, 10w for hdd, a few for ram and fans, you get around 450w, more when overclocked, but certainly not even close to 850
The GTX 970 has a TDP of only 145W, so you could argue a 500W would be sufficient to run two of those in SLI.
Only problem is, you'd need a PSU with enough 6/8pin connectors because it seems each 970 may require one 6-pin and one 8-pin.
Most 500-550W PSUs don't have that many connectors.

I was originally gonna go for EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W until I was told it is in no-mans land (650 enough for 1, 850 enough for 2)! But was that the right choice or overkill? It is only $115! Or would you recommend something different 650W?

i would get this, it can handle 2 970's and has enough connectors, while staying under $50
