Which PSU with OC on CPU & SLI

[shadeobrady]

I'm going to be ordering most of my rig tomorrow listed below, but am hesitant with the currently selected PSU. I know it'll do fine with 1 overclocked 670, but what happens if I decide to get another one in the future? That'll be at least 2 overclocked 670s with an overclocked 3570k Will a 650w hold out, and if I need more, how much? I'm not trying to add a lot more $$ to this already expensive build.

Here are alternatives I'm thinking of:
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W - not modular, but my case can hide it
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W - not even bronze certified (does it matter?)
SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W
Seasonic X660 660W 80PLUS Gold


Here's the proposed build: (** I plan on adding an H100 and extra fans)

I would go for the Corsair Enthusiast series 750w PSU just to be on the safe side of things. It's only a few dollars more.

Thanks abekl, this is definitely my weakest knowledge point. I've done research and seen that you need at least 700w for an SLI, but I'm not sure which is the best buy here.

The Enthusiast will actually be cheaper which is pretty incredible. What am I losing for upping 120w and lowering the price by $15? (they would be priced the same, but there's a 15% off discount for the Enthusiast right now =)

you wouldn't be losing anything
