SLI 780 question

Hello everyone, firstly Merry Christmas!

I just have a few quick question regarding SLi with x2 780's.

So I bought my from PC from PC Specialists in August, I've got a Corsair 850W PSU and was wondering this...
Will I have enough to add another 780 AND does it have to be the same as my Pallit or could I could at one from Asus/EVGA etc?

I'm also looking at getting myself an SSD so was wondering if that will go into the PSU also (and will the 850 be enough)? I was sure it'll be ok but just wanted to double check and get a second opinion on it.

Thank you, have a great day :)

Harry

It could be another one, try to put your spec on the configurator to check power requirements. The configurator used to allow to SLI with a 850w PSU but now it requires a 1050w PSU.

Yeah your right, I'm now getting this

"We've checked your specification for compatibility. Please consider our advice below before proceeding:
We notice that you have selected a 850W power supply, but based on our calculations we recommend you change your selection to a 1050W power supply because your computer could require up to 1030W of power including a 20% allowance"

When I got it like you said it said it would've been fine with an 850W? Knowing that I probably would've got the 1050W...

Is it now not worth anything if I was gonna SLI?

Sorry, I originally thought that 850W PSU was enough for x2 nvidia 780's in the future. What I meant by that question

- Is my 850W PSU not worth anything if I were considering getting another 780 for an SLi set up?

Because when I ran that test in August when I originally bought my system it said that the 850W would be enough for SLi 780's.
