Microcenter near me has EVGA SuperNOVA 850 Watt 80 Plus Platinum Modular ATX Power Supplys for $164.99.

Would two of these be ok instead of a 1300w or 1600w Platinum? Any pros/cons to using 2 separate PSUs?

Sorry for noob questions only have ever used ASICs prior to this build.
Using 2 PSU good too, the problem is PCIE cable. Each vega need 2 x 8 pins, and I don't know how many PCIE that PSU supplied.
As I see on web https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-g2-0850-xr
PCIE Cable 2x 700mm, 850mm (m) 2x 700mm (m)  (I think they got 5) so you need to buy 1 more cable for each PSU.

^ Extractly, 1 Vega need 2 x 8 pins ! Don't have enough cable. And the cable don't sale individual...
I use Corsair RM1000x for 4/5 vega (it comes with 4 PCIE (6+2)x2), with that you can easily fit 4 vega.

Can someone give me a recommendation for the best power supply for 6x Vega 64 build. Was going to go Delta 2400w Server PSU but they are out of stock everywhere. Looking for a plan B, links appreciated.


6 Vega only use around 1000w, so any psu with 1200+ enough for this or maybe 1500w for safety.
