I'd get at least a Corsair RM750 / XFX Core Edition 750 / Seasonic M12 750 .... that way you can SLI in future..... move up to Corsair HX850 Seasonic X-850 EVGA Supernova 850 if ya really wanna go to town on the OC.

Here is Guru3Ds power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 760 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 760 SLI - On your average system the card requires you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with a bit more stamina.

The CX series however is not one I would use if the box is subject to long gaming sessions at a substantial OC.
