My build:

Intel® Core™ i7-5820K, Prozessor FC-LGA4, "Haswell-E", boxed
ASRock X99X Killer/3.1, Mainboard
Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX, AIO Liquid Cooling
G.Skill DIMM 32 GB DDR4-2133 Kit, RAM
ASUS GeForce GTX TITAN X 12GB, Graphics Card
Corsair Graphite 780T, Big-Tower Case
Samsung MZ-75E500B 500 GB, SSD,
Western Digital WD20EFRX 2 TB, HDD
Samsung U28E590D, LED-Monitor

PCPartBuilder.com estimates a total use of 523 watts.

However, I am also planning on doing some CPU overclocking (up to 4,1 GHZ) and mild GPU overclocking sometime in the future.

Which PSU wattage fits my needs the best?

First off, keep in mind that monitors have their own power supply. I have a similar build except im on a Z97 chipset. you should bee good with 900 watts, I was on 1000 and had plenty of headroom. if you're going to overclock definitely at least 900, make sure is gold certified. If you don't know what that means, let me elaborate.

Certification is essentially the tolerance on a PSU. the higher the certification, the more likely the PSU is going to be able to actually operate at the specified power output.

750 watts. Keep in mind that pcpartpicker does not calculate monitor power. And like I can totally object to that. A single Titan X with a single 5820k should use a 750w MAXIMUM. It leaves a whole lot of room to OC. Even a 650w might handle it. But I would say 750w is what you need. And why the *** for a 900w. A 1000w would probably work for 2 Titan Xs. Be sure you know what you're doing before you post.
Also get a HIGH QUALITY 750w PSU : http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
