Is the RMX1000 Power supply suitable for running two GTX 1080 Strix cards by ASUS (overclocked to 2 GHz) along with the rest of the system? I'm checking the entire setup.

I want to know if it can handle streaming games online while playing and running other background apps without issues. Will it fail immediately when CPU and GPU usage increase? Thanks in advance.

Each card draws in 180 Watts and possibly 200 if overclocked. Because the voltage is fixed on the cards, they can't extract significantly more than 180. This means the power input type doesn't affect the output much.

1000w is more than sufficient. The 850w model would also be adequate.

I grabbed the 850W RMx just in case multi-GPU becomes important for most games. 1000W works well with three cards (assuming they aren't the early 7990 triple 8-pin models).

What are your thoughts on the monitor? A dual 1080p display is quite powerful.
