700W will be plenty. even 650W if you go for the 80+ platinum PSU

760i would be good, unless you only pay like 10 bucks more for an 860i.

there are a lot of good wattage calculators out there. haswell is very power efficient and so are the new 7xx series cards from nvidia. that psu will be just fine even with everything oc'd.

About 500w should power it under full load. So a 600w+ PSU should be fine.

About 500w should power it under full load. So a 600w+ PSU should be fine.

Acording to TDP addition, this would be correct. But there are power spikes, and overclocks which would kill the psu.

Enter your parts on this website and it'll calculate it for you:

Edit: But like everyone says, multiply the actual usage by like 1.25 or something to get some room for safety. That means you buy a 750W PSU if you need 600W, instead of buying a 650W PSU.

i think i will go with 750 watts, in the start im only going to run single GPU untill i need to upgrade

your rig with dual 770s will use ~500W at wall. even under in games. so no need for 850. and save some money and get ax 760 non i if you want corsair

The AX760i is more than enough, but just because you wish to overclock, an AX860i just to be safe, even though the 760i is already more than enough.
