Lookiong at the parts i think that you won't go for sli and is 750watts just overkill.Get a nice 550watt psu from good brand and for that kind of money it probably can be a "gold" labeled psu.
If you want to know which,give us a site where you are looking.

if u decide to reduce don't go with a 550 watt go with atleast a 600w cos there will be requirement of fans and processer and cpu cooler and as well as other devices and as know bronze rated psus will provide with 80-83% of the power that is denoted on the tag u can checkout the gamer series of corsair gs 600

Bronze rating has nothing to do with quality, it is only an efficiency rating.

For a system using a single NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. Some of the non-Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 cards have a single 8-pin (e.g. ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC) or two 8-pin (e.g. MSI GTX 760 HAWK) or one 6-pin and one 8-pin (e.g. Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC, EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ACX Cooler, MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming) PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

No you don't need a 600 watt, the 500 watt requirement takes all those other parts of the computer into account.

As long as you use a quality power supply, all you need is a 450watt
All power supply requirements, are inflated, because there are so many crappy power supplies out there.

That being said, I always go with the manufactures requirement to be sure you have a little extra.

Sorry then, I though "no need to worry", indicated quality.
" normal powers supply and above that they are bronze rated no need to worry"

I would certainly worry about low quality bronze rated power supplies.
They do exist.

You really don't understand what 80 PLUS Efficiency means or how it's measured..

A 600W PSU will output its full 600 Watts. At a conversion efficiency of 80% the PSU will be drawing 750 Watts from the AC power outlet. 600 Watts equals 80% of 750 Watts.

PSUs are not sold by their AC power consumption value.

Coming from the Asus PSU calculator it states that ill need a total of 600 watt PSU,If a 650/700 watt is needed for a little room what can you Recommend?

Not recommending waste, and have never user one of those inflated calculators.
Of course Corsair will come out on the high side. They make more money. I try to keep it.
All you need is a quality 500 watt. A quality 450 watt would work also.

A 550w like the ones linked above by ko888 is more than enough for your listed specs , buy one of them , they are high quality units made by the best in the PSU industry = SEASONIC.
