You will never use over 850w with those specs, even if you sli and overclock everything.
If you do buy a gtx 770, consider getting a 4gb one for extra power when using multiple monitors.
Nice build by the way :p

ok thanks I have thought about that and I'm not sure if I will need it, I intend on getting 1 more of the same monitor in the future. will a 2gb GTX 770 be enough? or should I go for a 4gb one? (keeping in mind I also intend on getting another 770 I will get the same GB one as well) and thanks its my first build as well :D  but it should be pretty beasty :p
