power requirements are almost entirely dictated by your graphics configuration.
Peripherals like hard drives and fans take very little.
sli gtx760 will need more like a 700w psu.

A better upgrade would be to replace the GTX760 in the future with a good single card like a GTTX780.
Realize that your cpu is not that great as a high end gamer. You are likely to run out of cpu before you run out of graphics capability.

There is no such thing as a cheap power supply. There are only reliable psu's and time bomb psu's. Don't skimp on a psu - if it goes, it may take your cpu, m/b and gpu along for the ride.

That said, THIS is the best bang for the buck going - made by seasonic and a really good psu.

If you are sure you will either be going sli with 760's or stepping up to a 780, I'd buy it now. One less thing to budget for in the future. The price difference between 550/600 and 750/850 is not all that great and gives you room to grow immediately.

JMO,
