Would a CORSAIR RM750i be enough for this build?

System Power Supply Requirements for a single NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 980 Ti
NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 38 Amps or greater
the system power supply should also have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin and one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express...

Hello gunt666. Yes I think that power supply would work just fine. Your graphic card consumes 250W and your CPU consumes 91W. That's 341W from the parts that consume the most, the rest of the computer would spend from 50 to 100W which would give a max of 441W out of 750W. I think it is a safe choice. Best of luck!

the system power supply should also have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin and one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors (E.g. ASUS GTX 980 Ti STRIX Gaming, EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ [06G-P4-4998], GIGABYTE GV-N98TG1 GAMING-6GD, MSI GTX 980TI GAMING 6G).

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

Corsair RMi Series RM750i (SKU# RPS0008 / CP-9020082)
OEM: CWT (Channel Well Technology)
maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating: 62.5 Amps <===== Way more than sufficient
four 150-Watt (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors <===== More than sufficient
Ambient Temperature Maximum (i.e. without derating): 50°C
Full Modular Output Cables: Yes
Passes Official Intel Haswell Compliance Test: Yes
80 PLUS GOLD Efficiency Certification
7 Year Limited Warranty

Even the RM650i would be more than sufficient.
