I had a HD7950 not long ago before I upgraded to a GTX 780.

I only had a 650W and it was running fine.

I killed that PSU with the GTX 780 and I'm now using the HCG-900.

Works great, so if you are thinking of upgrading in he future maybe just shift to the same to be sure.

Suggesting 900W for a single GPU is foolish. You can not compare the results you get from a crap 650W vs a good one.
550W is MORE than enough.

I am planning to expand my build over the year so a little headroom for newer cards in crossfire and an SSD is desirable. Am I hearing the Antec is the way to go?

Still overkill, you can go 720W HCG antec and more than enough power.

Yep, you can not go wrong with the HCGs from Antec, they are great and VERY well priced.
