HP Z800 Workstation
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm considering a budget Z800 configuration. The workstation will be used for photography and 3D image rendering not so much gaming. I want to include dual Xeon X5675 processors 1 Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti and  a GTX 1060 6GB for computing. I'm trying to keep the power requirement low. The question is will I still have to upgrade the PSU to the 1110W option?

you are near the limit for the stock supply depending on the amount of ram and if dual cpu's  plus any other cards you are installing

 

if you install several high performance SSD's or several mech drives to the above then i strongly recomend the upgraded supply

 

bottom line, go for the upgraded supply, in the long run it's better
