edit:im not planning on overclocking any time soon and im crossfiring 2 Saphire Radeon HD 7790s

that is a b level brand. I suggest Corsairs or XFX's. btw I don't know if you go SLI? If not 550/600 is more than enough watt.

Need a little more information to help with PSU recommendations.

1) Are you going to overclock
2) What graphics card are you using
3) SLi/Crossfire now or in the future?

If you OC and Crossfire 2 of those GPU's, I'd stick with a Corsair HX or Seasonic 850W or higher.

corsairs 750 is more than enough for those 2 cards

For a system using two Radeon HD 7790 graphics cards in 2-way CrossFireX mode AMD specifies a minimum of an 600 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 31 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) will require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The XFX Pro Series 650W Modular Edition (Bronze) (P1-650X-XXB9), with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 53 Amps and with four (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is way more than sufficient to power your system configuration with two Radeon HD 7790 graphics cards in 2-way CrossFireX mode.
