The calculator doesn't suggest PSUs. That's just an ad.

If you can manage to load all 4 cores and 3 gpus fully I don't think it would draw more than 700-750W. It recommends a PSU wattage, not how much your computer will draw. A 1kW PSU is about as low I would go for that rig. This calculator is a somewhat useful resource, but any person with some knowledge about PSUs can do the same thing in a few seconds and be able to recommend a few PSUs to power it. Quality is just as important (or more) as capacity and that is not something this calculator can do.

I bought the "Lifetime Limited Access" (I think they meant "Lifetime Unlimited Access" since the others are limited).

Hmm. That doesn't sound right. Shouldn't it be a little higher than that?
