I wanted to know if a 750w crosair power supply would be enough for some future upgrades. I am planning to have 2 gtx 660 graphics cards, a i5-4570k 3.2ghz processor (quad core), 8 gigs of ram, 1 7200rpm hard drive, and one cd drive combo. I'll also be running two monitors if that changes anything.

Depends which one, I wouldn't touch the CX with a 10 foot pole, and the TX is based on an outdated Channel Well design. The AXi units are excellent Flextronics units though. You're better off getting something like an EVGA G2 or a NZXT Hale 90 as both of those are based off the far newer Superflower Leadex platform.

The B2s are Super Flower? I thought only the G2s and P2s use the Leadex platform.

At $80 the Corsair CX750 is overpriced. At best it's a ok psu but the 750w rating is done at 30C. As temps go up psu output goes down. Good psus are rated at 50C. All thing being equal the CX750 is not a true 750W psu. Since you are doing sli this pus is not adequate for your needs. Most people who buy this psu are not going to stress it as much as you will.

That's a very good psu much better than CX750.
