I am thinking about purchasing 2 1080 ti to run in sli for my rig and I need some assistance on purchasing a quality power supply. I know that 1080 ti in sli is overkill, but what can I say, I have become a PC junkie. I have not purchased the 2 1080 ti's yet as I am waiting for the non-reference cards to become available. I currently have 2 1080's in sli, but the power requirements for the 1080 ti is higher and power requirements may be more prevalent with the aftermarket coolers and overclocking.
Here are the current specs for my rig:
i7 7700k @ 5Ghz (1.34 volts)
Gigabyte G1 z170 Gaming 7 Motherboard
32gb (4x8) GSkill Ripjaws V Series RAM (2666)
Corsair H115i
EVGA SC GTX 1080
EVGA SC GTX 1080
960 Samsung EVO NVMe 250gb
850 Samsung EVO 250gb
850 Samsung EVO 250gb
850 Samsung EVO 500gb
Blu Ray optical drive
750 Watt EVGA SuperNOVA 750 P2 220 80+ Platinum
While I am a PC junkie, I am still very confused when it comes to power supply requirements, I just know that a quality power supply is needed to protect the equipment inside. I found some information regarding the PSU requirements for the 1080 ti here:

They recommend an 850 watt PSU for 1080 ti in sli, which at first glance seemed a little small. Considering my hardware and overclocks, is an 850 watt big enough and what should I be looking for when I purchase a new PSU?
