Just as a rough estimate, what should rating for a PSU should I be looking at?

I'll probably end up with the one down from the top card (like how a 470 was one down from a GTX 480 if you know what I mean)

Would this be appropriate?
Any opinions welcome.

Currently have a 2500k, plan on OCing, 8GB ram, gtx 470, 1xVertex3 and another normal HD+optical drive.

Nononon as in after 5, the current series

Let me be clear: SLI for the GTX 7XX and Radeon 7XXX of cards, for whenever they come or whatever they are called

Obviously just a rough estimate because theyre not out yet, but just based on rumours or how much the PSU requirements have gone up previously.

I do not know for it because it sounded new Radeon and Nvidia Roadmap concepts such as Comodo, LOMBOK or Radeon HD7990 :D  for example, at some point be released, but the more distant future will be less and less watts of power for go green

As Henydiah says, a good 850 watt will most likely be fine, Im currently using that with 4 hdd's 2 dvd drives and crossfire 5850's with a q9650 and 8gb ram.

Any new cards coming along will most likely need less power to run.
