So I’m thinking about adding a second 1080ti to my build. Right now my build consists of

I7 7820x @ 3.6ghz on an evga CLC 280
Gigabyte aorus gaming 7
16gb 4x4 dominator platinum @ 3200mhz
Evga gtx 1080ti sc2 black
Seasonic focus gold plus 850 watt power supply

So if I add a second gpu to my system will it be starved for power and not run well? If yes what is a good power supply to upgrade to?

The psu is a very good one and will do the job.

But, what do you hope to accomplish?
Dual gpu will show impressive fps results using synthetic benchmarks.
But, your gaming experience may not be that good.
Dual gpu will be prone to stuttering and screen tearing.
Some games do not support dual gpu at all.

Rumors are that the GTX11xx high end cards are near, I would wait for that.

There's no reason to have 1080 ti sli unless you're planning to play in high/ultra settings on 4k(even then a single 1080 ti will handle most games just fine like that). A more worthwhile upgrade would be to switch from 16gb to 32gb memory(granted that is also a bit overkill).
