That wattage is about right.700-760 watts would be a good PSU wattage. And the performance jump won't be there - It'll just provide extra features and more control over the PSU.

So I was hoping to get this question answered as soon as possible. How much wattage will I need to run an OC 4770k and 2 DCUII 770's in SLI? Using TDP calculator, I got just under 600W, but that seems kind of hard to believe. My current option is to go with a Corsair AX760i but what is your opinion?

 

Also, is there any real significant performance jump from the 760 to the 760i for that extra £25?
