Corsair or PC Power & Cooling should be your choices for a multi GPU config.I have seen many rigs with those Power supplies and all the high ends contain them.

I would personally go for 1000w psu
better to have that extra power incase you watercool and go crazy with lights and fans

i use a toughpower 1000w

MY buddy has the same card and uses a 650watt with a crap load of other stuff and his system runs fine

I'm running Tri-Xfire with a 850watt power supply myself. Like others I would recommend 1K unit for Quad-Xfire setups to be safe even if you have extra power to spare...

As for recommendations Enermax or Antec are my picks...

An 850w will be more than enough.
