Yeah, that should be fine with that system, even for SLI. The thing to keep in mind though, is that wattage isn't the only thing you should look for. Amps on the 12V rail(s) is the other major factor. Multiply Amps by the voltage to get actual wattage (eg. 62A*12V=744W). Since you didn't say exactly what model that PSU is, I can't tell you for sure if it's sufficient, but Corsair has solid PSU's, so you should be good.

My PSU I selected is the Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX750M Power supply - 750 Watt.

For a system using two GeForce GTX 680 graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 750 Watt or greater power supply that has a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 53 Amps or greater and that has at least four 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Total Continuous Amperage Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most important factor.

The Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX750M (CMPSU-750TXM), with its combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 62 Amps and with four (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is sufficient to power your system configuration with two GeForce GTX 680 in 2-way SLI mode.
