It will be cutting it close, depending on your CPU.

The TDP of a 780 FTW is 250W, that's 500W in GPUs right there. Add another 100 for a i5/i7 (more if it's an FX) CPU, another 100 for the rest of your system and you're up to 700W. That's an unrealistic full load draw, but you're at next to zero overhead.

I'd be looking at a 850W myself. It's complete overkill, but it's nice to have the PSU relaxing most of the time.
