Hey guy i was just wondering what kind of psu i would need for my rig,
GTX 670 2-Way SLI
8 GB of RAM
i7-3770K
SSD+HDD
H100i cpu liquid cooling
MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard

I plan on over-clocking the cpu to around 4.5ghz (in that area) and slighting over-clocking both GPUs. The newegg power supply calculator recommends 750 but it doesnt take in the overclocking and liquid cooling so would a 800 Watt PSU work fine? Please let me know if i forgot to add anything that takes up more power as well.

a quality 750w PSU would be enough for you even with OC

GeForce GTX 670 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500~550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 670 2x SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
