Hi. I am building a gaming PC which will be mainly used for gaming and video encoding using the HEVC codec. I also like to keep a lot of tabbed browsing. I will definitely OC my CPU and also the GPU. I would appreciate some advice from you experts on whether or not a Cooler Master V750 (which is a Tier#1 PSU according to tom's PSU list) would be sufficcient for my build?

Thanks!

750 watts will work for your needs and the Cooler Master V series are high quality as you already know. The tier list is a good guide for selecting something that will properly power and protect you investment. The motherboard you have supports SLI. If you were to move up to a 1KW PSU your system would be ready to drop in another 980 ti at anytime and overclock. Just fyi. :)
