and whats the recommended wattage for these card:
Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 2GB
or AMD Radeon R9 280x VAPOR-X OC
with an i5 CPU no overclock
1 SSD 1HDD 1ODD some 200mm fans
and how much do i need if i want to Crossfire?
and another thing is what does the OC mean in the AMD GPU?
 
Solution
GeForce GTX 770 - requires 42 Ampere on +12V rail and a 600W PSU minimum

Radeon R9-280X - requires 30 Ampere on +12V rail and a 550W PSU minimum

R9 280X Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

OC means on AMD GPU = the card is factory over clocked.

Go with this PSU if you want to SLI or Crossfire :
