but I check Asus power supplie calculator and it said that I need 900 to 1000w but if I count everything my self: CPU about 100w 2x GTX 760=350w motherboard 75w and memory, drives, fans, LED about 50w so it come at 575w. Why Asus tell me I need a 900 to 1000w power supplie?

Kindly specify the make & model of your PSU. All 750W units are not the same.

Specifics on the PSU are ideal, but yes, it should as long as it's not a piece of crap.

 

As for the calculator, they always overestimate.

Single GPU is fine on a CX750. You can add a second one if you want. But I'd advice you to upgrade to a better unit for doing so.

Psu calculators for the most part are highly inaccurate.

You could pretty easily run a 760 sli off of a decent 650w. A cx750m is more than enough.
