Unless you are trying to run quad sli Titans.1200w is overkill.

Don't waste money.

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

750W is the highest Wattage needed if you want it to run on the safe side for Long

Even with OC the 760s will draw 600+w

You are fine with 750

Will he buy your PSU for cheap if you get that 1200W component? There has to be some interest in his "advice"!

most of the scumbags I know do this. I'm one of few honest ones around here and I believe it payed off, me getting an HP probook 4330s i5 laptop with 8 gigs of ram for free and all.
