~1000X

a corsair HX1050 would be perfect (or a AX1200 for future-proofing)

a 850W will not be enough

OCZ PSU's are ok, not the best though. If your powering multiple high end GPU's and a high end CPU with relatively large OC's then you'll want a good PSU. Corsair units are very solid, so too are XFX ones (both Seasonic OEM's). Enermax and Cougar are great too.
