Greetings.

The minimum you'll want is a EVGA 1300 G2 for 2 S5's (pending that Bitmain's specs. are correct), but if you can find a higher wattage PS for the same price range then you might consider going bigger...

Why would he need bigger? It is 590w at the wall only 540w at miner so how do you get 1300w+ from 1080w? I see that will give you some headroom which is nice but other than that no need to go any bigger.
