Skip the Cooler Master GX750, Corsair CX750/750m, Fractal Design Integra 2 750w and EVGA NEX750B.

 

The Thermaltake Smart 750-M, Corsair TX 750M, and TX750v2 are all solid mid-range unit.

 

If you could buy this, I would recommend it: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_443&item_id=039876

AX760 could probaly be enough for SLI 770's but if you want some more headroom then AX860

An ax760 is overkill as is even for sli 780's...

Yeah, the XFX ProSeries 750w is an excellent unit. I had thought I mentioned it. Just note that it is out-of-stock, ATM.

It's in stock at ncix.  :P

Ah, I see. About 20 minutes ago, when I put into my cart, it gave me a message that it may there may be insufficient supplies or it is out of stock. When it was in my cart, it was on backorder.

 

I guess it got back in stock within 20 minutes. Lucky for the OP. xD

By all means get 7970's instead. It's just that you said sli 770's in your original post...

It's actually 750w minimum for 7970 crossfire. 850w would leave plenty of headroom.
