750w would be fine. Like anti-duck said, both leave room for future upgrades and use in another system if you ever decide to make another one.

do you have all the parts for the rest of the PC or are you still shopping?

I answered in regards to the HX750i before you changed the title :p 750w would still be a bit too much, but with a 750w or 850w PSU, you would be running it at max efficiency (~40-~60% load) and they would leave lots of room for future upgrades.

I'm guessing you're having problems selecting SLI because the 760 you have selected can't be found new by PC part picker. I was also curious why you selected this GPU instead of going with something more powerful.

Are you referring to the '1 additional PCI-Express 6-pin power connector is needed.' flag when trying to add a second video card? If so, the HX750i definitely comes with enough cables. I had mine powering 2 MSI GTX 970's.

Please correct me if i'm not on the same page here, but I don't think this is what was meant. Normally on pcpartpicker it allows you to select 2 GPUs and have them displayed on the page. When i click on this one, there is no way to add another. If i add a different one that is available to be purchased, it allows me to run 2 in sli config.

I was asking earlier if the parts where already in a machine or if they were just planning on buying them, because if the later, then a much better GPU could be had.

I think the problem is because you can't buy another 760 since it is not sold new anymore so the site has an error. It's no big deal though.

Since you have SLI, i would go for the 850w if you can find a good deal on it. It will work great for your system now and in the future. If you're not dead set on buying XFX i know there was a really good deal on EVGA Supernova G2 750w or 850w. They come with a 10 year warranty too.
