I think people are underestimating X79 power draw with the hex cores at really high overclocks and volts, when under unrealistic loads. Then again, that's not a day-to-day type of load.
All that said, I would still take the Seasonic X1050, a really top-notch power supply. There''s a 1250W model, so it's not like the design caps out at 1050W.

I agree. My I had my 2700k at 5.2GHz@1.52v ant it would prime at 115 watts. This 3930k will pull a sold 230w. I was amazed at the huge jump in power consumption on the x79 platform. It's 2 extra cores but the pch is much more robust as well.
