I was wondering how much a single 780 would need out of a power supply. Also when getting a power supply is there anything else that would need a lot of power out of it?

really depends on what psu you get. a 600w psu from a good manufacturer will do nicely. You may even get by with 500w one if its excellent quality

some examples are corsair, pc power and cooling, xfx, seasonic, etc.

The CPU and the graphics card are the two biggest power consumers. They both get all of their power from the +12V rail(s) so the power supply must have the appropriate maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 780 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 42 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.
