PSU for triple monitor (sli?)

Solution
If you haven't already, make sure that you get 3 of the EXACT SAME monitor. If one is different than one of the others, the color and brightness will not match up perfectly, and it will drive you crazy.

I have the Gigabyte G1 970. Rarely will I temporarily overclock it.

I have 1 970 for a triple monitor setup (6040x1080 - bezel corrected), so I know what I'm talking about. Using Star Wars Battlefront, I was getting 60fps on "High" settings. Yes, 1000w is overkill, but you can never have too large of a power supply. Having 1000w would allow you to SLI 2 very large cards (Titans, or 980Tis) without worry. It's a good future proofing move that very few realize. Also, the price difference between 1000w and 750w, (which may be more of the "need" for your proposed setup) is minimal. I say go for it.
