Hi everyone!
My goal is to have a i7 7700k and 2 asus gtx 1080 ti founders edition cards overclocked to the limit. However, I do not know the wattage I need to run it like this. My current setup is 525 watts with one gtx 1080 ti fe gpu installed and the i7 7700k.

I think the FE can't physically draw more than 250-280W due to the power connectors
The i7 won't draw more than 155W before melting down.

850W should be fine.

While I cannot identify how many watts you'll need precisely, I can say that 525, if not enough, will certainly be painfully close for comfort. The Founders Edition cards use reference blower-style cooling, which isn't too strenuous, but it's still a neck-scratcher as to how close you'd like to come. Personally, I'd just go get something along the lines of a 650Watt supply, if you do the math (which I didn't, lazy me) it should be fine. :)

Thanks, but I'm using an 850 watt psu and I'm running 525 watts with one gpu, but when I add another with no overclock, it goes to 750 watts. If I want to overclock the two gpus and the CPU, I don't know how much power that will take

Where did you get that number from?

There is no way your system is drawing 525 watts as is. I would doubt it even draws 400 watts.

850w is more than enough for 2 GPUs and the 7700k even overclocked.
