700W will be fine, but yes use the calculator :D

 

Edit: i read 2 7870..so 700W is to much...500w is good like woodenMarker said

A good 500w will be more than enough.

'what size psu should we get to watercool'

 

Preferably an ATX one, so long as it fits in the case it'll do :P

 

Power output on the otherhand I'd say around 650w should see you fine but there are tools out there like this one from Asus that I use all the time, seems to do the job.

I went into this thread thinking you planned to watercool a power supply.
