I've gotten many different answers ranging from 1400 w to 800 w
Right now my build is as follows:
Amd fx 9590
Corsair h100i
4x 8gb ddr3 ram
Asus crosshair v formula z
3x GTX 980 sli
4x western digital caviar black
2x Samsung ssd 840 evo
Raid controller
Dvd drive.

My case has 7 fans and I can't seem to get a straight answer. Thank you very much to anyone that can help

Take a look at the linked chart above: The recommended minimum power for a system with 3 GTX980's in SLI is 950 watts, and the power supply needs to have 6 x 6pin PCIE power connectors. I would consider that a pretty good minimum requirement if you have the 9590 as that is a power hungry CPU: The recommended power listings are generally based on a PC with an i7 CPU and they don't max out over 100watts in newer models (usually much less) while that 9590 is a 200watt beast.
Any name brand PSU from Tier 1, or 2a in the attached link/list should be sufficient, and if it were I, I would consider a 1000 watt unit, maybe more. You have a lot of stuff in that PC...

Darn, 3x 980s will need a ton of power. I'd get 1000w or higher, with good efficiency. If it was me, I'd get the best I could find at a semi-reasonable price. Also, get an i7, not AMD for high end builds.

XFX, Seasonic, Antec High Current Gamer (HCG), Corsair AX and AXi, and Rosewill CAPSTONE (Made by Super Flower) are also good choices.
