300W max power consumption x 2 = 600W + about 250W for the rest of your components. Cutting it close IMO. Have a look at a good 1000W or 1200W, if your budget allows.

250w for a CPU, and fans and mobo etc? a little bit too much dont you think? especially because it's intel, i'd say it would take around 180-200W maybe

I always calculate a bit extra headroom when getting a PSU.

yeah me too, but i think the plat rating on those will do it good, i doubt he'll have any issues with it

budget is a little tight,as the matrix 7970 is about 300-400$ converted from the currency in the country im living.

Yep, if you want the AX860i it'll cut it since your components won't be running at full load all the time (almost never). 

 

However there are these two great PSU's that are still cheaper than the AX860i.

Honestly avoid the ax860i (noise reasons other than that perfect psu). Get the evga 850 G2
