As the title says, I was hoping that one of you more informed gentlemen could offer up a suggestion or two on what a smart PSU buy would be for this system as is, and if I were to add a another GTX 770. I am on the fence about the dual GPU set up, but even if I would do it I would buy it at least a year into the future, so for not just what would be a good PSU for this system. Would it be better to buy a higher watt PSU now than buy one for a single card system, then buy another one when I buy the second card? Would that save me money?

600w would do fine. Make sure it is 80+. The nicest PSU I have ever owned is my Corsair.

FYI the 7970 is $90 cheaper and has more VRAM. If you want to play BF4, you are gonna need the extra RAM.
