I'm getting a 2nd STRIX OC 1080Ti and I've been trying to figure out if I should get a 850 or 1000w PSU. PSU Calculator told me to get 850w, youtube videos for SLI 1080Ti say 1000w, PCpartpicker said my draw would be 765 with my config and I guess that means 850w for the tier up.

Anyone know if 850w is safe (no OC)? What's a good brand you recommend?

CPU: 7700K
GPU: 2X STRIX OC 1080Ti

A decent OE 850W should be sufficient, however, there's no harm opting for a 1000W to give yourself some room for future upgrades if needed.

Do you have a recommended make/model? I've been looking at the Corsair AX860i but it's been getting alot of complaints lately, I'm currently on a Corsair HX750i which I had RMA'd a year ago after it burnt out 3 years in. Should I try a HX850i? The EVGA 850 P2 has also been recommended to me.

Whats a good choice?

Personally have stuck to Superflower in the last few years. Tight voltage regulation and very reliable going beyond peak wattage without tripping. G, P and T series for EVGA also use Superflower OE.

Which PSU for SLI STRIX OC 1080Ti?
