700w won't cut it unfortunately.

As a general guide, a single decent card will draw ~250w, as will the total system (ex card)
That puts minimum PSU at 750w.
As always, push a PSU hard and It will die much quicker, and a PSU can take a mobo etc with it when it dies.
I'd go for a decent 850w. It will run cooler, quieter and last much longer.

just stick to the xfx or the seasonic (all xfx are seasonic) there are others who have become as good as seasonic but they are the best. If you really want to know more stop by the hardocp and if they recomend then you know it is good

i highly rec that you read just one review as you will learn more in those 10 minutes than anybody else can explain
