Ok so I have acquired a few parts.

I have the following;
Intel i7-4770k CPU
Asus Maximus VI Hero MOBO
2x8GB GSkill Trident X 2400 1.65v RAM
CM 690 iii CASE
Samsung 840 Pro series 128mb SSD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm HDD
ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo (CPU Cooler)
2x CoolerMaster MegaFlow 200 200mm Case fans
2x Noctua Nf-F12 PWM 120mm Case fans
2x Included case fans in my CM 690 iii case
ZALMAN MFC1 Plus-B Black 6 Channel Multi Fan Controller

I am thinking of just getting 2x EVGA Nvidia GTX 760 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card in SLI

Would I need an 850w or 1000w or higher PSU for all of this?

Only reason I've decided to go for 2x GTX 760s SLI is they both together are cheaper than a new card, and I doubt I'll have enough to get one of the newest ones within the next month when I actually buy the GPU.

I plan to play games, do school work, some music/video production and maybe game design for college/hobby as well. I do plan to run 3 monitors, and possibly surround sound. Not to mention a few usb MIDI controllers, mixers, mic(s) and probably some instruments.
Mainly gaming.

So you think a 750w bronze cert. PSU will handle all this with no problem? 100% positive? I have no problem with money. I was looking at a Corsair 750w HX750 Gold cert PSU. But you sure 850 or 1000w wouldn't be better? Or at least the HX750?
