The CX line is in the lowest tier of good power supplies.
I use them, and never had a problem.

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

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.

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.
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?
The site that i am looking at --> http://www.memoryexpress.com/ its my local computer shop
