actually a titan would still run on your psu jayztwocents had 2 gtx 680's and an i7 3770k overclocked on a 650 w psu so...
The reason I say the 280 over the 7950 is cause it's newer and you may as well get the newest tech as it will go out of date and older tech goes out of date faster. Also I didnt say you had to OC i'm just saying you can.

if you are using single GPU and not over clocking corsair 600W is enough for almost any graphic card except maybe extrem grahpic card like Titan.

ok well i think my mobo can handle a 280 im not big on nvidia and rather have amd. 280 is basically the same as 7970 if imnot mistaken . so with my mobo and every thing i doubt i would oc unless i got a new motherboard the head sinks arnt the strongest on the mobo. so you think the 280 would run good wth the setup if so explain xD

get an r9 series gpu maybe a 280/x and you wont need to upgrade the psu if 2 780 ti's and a 5960x overclocked can run on a 850watt PSU yours should handle tis fine and you will still have room to OC if you wish too.
