This is my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3aqBB

And I'm going to upgrade to a gtx 770 or R9 290X at some point soon probably... I am thinking about going doing SLI or CF down the road as well with one of these cards, and I was wondering if my PSU would be able to handle either/or.

Thanks.

I would upgrade to a gold certified 800 watt power supply. You'd probably be able to, but you don't want to risk losing everything if the power supply dies. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

It appears my Mobo isn't even SLI capable anyways, just Crossfire.

Good advice: When buying a PSU, go a size or two more than you need. As computer junkies, we WilL upgrade at some point. If you go a size or two bigger, you don't have to worry about spending a ton of money just to go out and get yet another PSU. I bought a Corsair AX860i. I love it. AND.....I don't have to worry about running out of wattage if I make an addition to my system.
