Hi does anyone know stuff about this psu? Corsair Professional Series HX 850 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (HX850)?

I want to know if its good with over clocking and if its bad or good? Also will i be able to plug molex connectors into this psu?

also the psu needs to be haswell certified so it can work with my i7 4770k.

This is a good quality power supply:

It is compatible with Haswell:

For over clocking you just need a quality supply which can supply the required current.
This power supply will be great with any single GPU system (no Crossfire or SLI).
An 850W power supply is overkill actually for a single GPU system, but not enough for many SLI or Crossfire systems.
Which graphics card or cards do you plan to install?
You could go to two way SLI with GTX 760 cards or two way crossfire with R9 270X cards.
With higher rated cards in 2 way configurations, look at a 1000W power supply.

A quality 650W supply would be plenty.
Seasonic G 650
Corsair HX 650

By double water cooling you mean water cooling the CPU and GPU?
You could still use a 650W power supply with this and stay under 70% load, which is fine for reliability.
A 750W supply would be under 60% load, which is really good.
I certainly wouldn't go any higher than a 70W supply, it's just a waste.
Corsair RM 650/750
Seasonic G 650/750
Corsair HX 650/750

The RM is nice in that the fan won't even start until about 40% load, so while you are not loading up the graphics card the power supply fan will stop.
The fans in water cooling solutions are usually super quiet though, so maybe it is a feature you wouldn't get much value from.
