I'd like to know the max recommended wattage anybody can give me out there out of curiosity. With my current specs, my computer runs comfortably in a 450W power supply. Now, if I OC, I know I'm going to need a bigger power supply which is why I'm wondering what would be a recommended wattage. To be safe on the wattage, would somebody please tell me how much additional wattage I'd need to overclock this GPU and CPU to the max? I'm not planning on maxing them out all the way but just to be safe I'd like to know the recommended wattage if I did. That way I know that the wattage can handle anything below maxed out OC.

I wouldn't overclock at all you have to be getting towards the power supplies limitations.

Similar system (3770K and ASUS 760 DirectCU II OC, from a competing web site's 760 DirectCU II review), overclocked, put up 315W total system (not including speakers or monitor) power consumption while under full gaming load.

Assuming your 450W power supply is a good brand, it should be fine overclocked while under full load.
