This website says Load Power Consumption in Crysis 3 for 780 ti is 556w!!! Does that mean I need a bigger PSU than 750w if I decide to buy it!?

No, that is total system power. Even then it won't be that much.

Well that website is wrong. That is most likely the power draw for the entire system. No, you don't need bigger than 750W. WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE THIS MISTAKE ALL THE TIME! You'd be fine with a 550W PSU. 

 

EDIT: Sorry for the little rage back there, I've just been here a while and I'd be fairly wealthy if I got £5 for every person who thought they needed double the necessary Wattage to power their builds.

To add to what others have already said: 

Psu calculators for the most part are highly inaccurate. It's good to look up kill-a-watt measurements as well from similar systems to compare results.
