Power supply planning

I'm planning a build for a friend, and I need to pick out a PSU. What wattage power supply would I need to get for a single GTX 780Ti, Core i7 4770K, on a full size Z87 MB with plenty of headroom for fans and several HDDs. I would like to know what the minimum power I would need for this setup is, as I don't want them to buy a really high powered PSU if they don't need it.

Thanks

Anything around 600+ also don't get a 4770k if its just for gaming get a 4670k

Thanks for the advice :) I would have chosen that, but the person I'm building it for asked specifically for an i7 4770K (BTFOM).

Thanks everyone, I think I'll go with a Corsair AX 860 in case they want to upgrade something down the line :)

I'm just wondering, are all the "PCIE-E cables" 6+2 pin connectors, as the Corsair website doesn't specify?
