I was wondering how large my power supply would be with my large pro build.
I will have an AMD FX-8350 standard processor, with a 3-way SLI AMD Radeon HD 7770 standard, also I will have a 500gb Velociraptor hard drive with a Hitachi 2.5" 5400 RPM 250gb. Then my motherboard will be a Gigabyte GA-990FX-UD5 with 8gb of Kingston Hyperx DDR3-1600 RAM, I also will have 11 Cooler Master Turbine Master Mach 1.8 120mm fans. Including an LG 12x Blu-ray reader with an NZXT Sentry LX fan controller, I will also have a Corsair H60 water cooler in a Corsair C70 Vengeance case. And I also have a Asus Xonar DG sound card with an intel pro 10/100/1000 network card. Thankfully that's it! Holy shit that took forever but I hope someone can come up with a good power supply recommendation. Thanks guys!!

Had your system until I upgraded my GPU to a 7970 GHZ with 6gb of Vram. Going to say right off the bat, if you have the money for a singular better card get it. The 7950 boost additions could easily be had for UNDER the price of 3 7770's and perform better. Even more so because 3 way crossfire isn't directly supported by the default board and not going to be highly optimized in ANY situation. Also microstuttering is really bad on crossfire 7770's. I noticed it next to all the time and even at 60 fps, made my day bad.

A good 750W PSU will do the job as hts23 said.

Also, kennai brings up a good point on buying a single card that is better. You'll have less issues, and a better experience because the games won't have to be optimized for 3-way Crossfire. (Something like the 7950 OC'ed would do really well)
