Unless you are planning to go with 2 GTX770s, 750w is overkill. A reliable 550W will do the job.

As novuake said, 750 is overkill 550 will do the job.
And, it so happens I just got a 550 psu after very exhaustive research: http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-FORTRESS-Platinum-Certif...

It's gold platinum certified(93% efficient), it's quiet, runs cool, and has plenty of connectors and was the best bang for the buck.

Some of the Fortress models are very good, and a few of the Hives.

Yea.
Well, I was after what I could get for a hundred bucks and someone took one of these rosewill fortresses on techpowerup and put it on oscilloscopes etc and really ran it thru it's paces. Since I only had so much money, and only needed so much power I decided on this psu because of all the positive reviews, ratings, etc etc etc. This psu seems to be in the top 5 of the 550w pack, and it does the job very nicely. Oh yea, it comes with a 7 year warranty too.
