I am currently on the lookout for a decent power supply for a workstation build.
2 xeon 2600 v4
ASUS Z10 PE Motherboard
2* GTX 1070
128 gb of ram
So far the corsair AX 860 series PSU seems like a perfect fit for me. Any suggestions?
Do you need something redundant or just some solid PSU?
I have a Seasonic Platinum 1050 and it works fine. I also have a 520W Silverstone passively cooled PSU that is also made by Seasonic. Again, great stuff. So, Seasonic knows what they are doing.
I had a Corsair 650W (RM something) in another system and that was also completely fine and it was VERY quiet.
Redundancy is not a requirement though. For now, a solid PSU that can handle being powered on 24x7 should do the trick for me.
The Seasonic X-850 should do.

May I ask what you are going to do with it?
It will be used for image processing in a microscopy lab.
Have you considered this:

And that software runs CUDA? With dual GPU support? Wow!
If so, do you really need the dual CPUs?
Well cuda is a big win in some cases. People are able to process image stacks on their local workstations now. A few years ago, these tasks were strictly in big-cluster territory.
Obviously, not every task can use the gpu. That's where the two cpus come-in :).
