According to Pcpartpicker the estimated part list maximum power draw is 778W (excluding fans and two HDD's), so obivously my HX750w isn't going to cut it. I want to buy a quality, fully modular PSU, but I'm unsure which factors are important in deciding on the wattage (e.g. overclocking, futureproofing).
So should I get a 850w-900w-1000w-1050w PSU? What would you guys recommend and why?
