New folding box config

I redid my 24 core box, and added 2 GTX 980's. Here is the result:

It pulls between 660 and 750 watts from the wall per kill-a-watt depending on the units in F@H. Antec 1200 PSU.

1 SSD, no HD, one DVD writer
one case fan, 2 CPU fans, and 980 fans@75% about, 2500 rpm
the 980's are factory overclocked@1400 mhz, factory voltage@1200 and 1225 m(something)
2 5639 Xeon's@3.0 using 1.2 vcore.

Does that sound correct for power consumption ? looks high, but the SR-2 motherboard could be a hog.

I've never owned a high-end dual-CPU rig, especially with two GTX980s, so I can't comment on the power-consumption, but just wanted to drop in and say "nice rig!".
 
That seems within normal values.
Unfortunately I have older dual cpu setup so I can't really comment on power consumption but 2 E5345's without GPUs consume 400-500 Watts on a HP Proliant server.
