Hello..

I am building a new pc and follow are my hardware build details.

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 16GB(2×8) 1866 MHz RAM
Intel I7-4770 CPU
Gigabyte WB300D PC Wifi Card
Corsair Graphite 600T Mid-tower Case
MSI Twin Frozr Gaming GTX 780 3GDDR5
Corsair HX850W Gold Certified PSU

I will be purchasing another MSI GTX 780 in future to make SLI. So, is corsair hx 850w PSU  enough for my SLI setup? And most important, I am not into overclocking and won't overclock.
Also will my build fit in Corsair Graphite 600T case? I like 600T case.. so

You should have no problems at all fitting everything in there.

I meant if GTX 780 SLI would fit in?

Consider getting the 4770K over the 4770. Whilst you may not be interested in overclocking now, you may find in a few years that your CPU is holding you back (especially with SLI GTX 780s) and that you wished you'd invested a little more. When I first built my system I almost bought a non overclockable CPU, however I changed my mind at the last minute and I haven't looked back. Overclocking is very easy and actually quite enjoyable, such that I even bought a better motherboard and CPU cooler. Your Mobo is already very good, so you don't need to invest in that area and a decent cooler doesn't cost too much (though you can worry about that in the future).

If you are still not sold on overclocking, consider a Xeon E3-1230 v3 which still has 4 cores and 8 threads but is a helluva lot cheaper.

Well I don't know how to overclock. And what type of cooler would be good to keep cpu cool or not overheatedif I went for overclocking 4770k cpu? I was reviewing Cooler master hyper 212 evo air cooler. Will it be enough?

There are plenty of video or written guides on how to overclock haswell processors, watch/read a bunch of them to get an idea of what you have to do. Even the sandy/ivy bridge guides are still applicable as the procedure is similar. As for the individual options in your bios, google is your best friend. I have googled nearly every option on my mobo's bios to find out what it does and what setting I should use.

A hyper 212 evo will do you well for a reasonable overclock, though you will be able to get higher clocks with better coolers. Unfortunately I am not an expert on CPU coolers as I bought a NH-D14 from noctua and haven't needed anything more.

Perhaps starting a new thread would be a good idea. Include your current planned build, your budget and any sort of cooler preference and the experts here at Tom's will help you.
