So the title is pretty much the question, im going to pick up a 980ti Asus strix version today and I have a Cooler Master GX 750 W PSU and I was wondering if it will be enough for the card? And by the way I know I have the right connectors.

My specs:

i7-2600k @ 4.5ghz
250 gb ssd
16gb ram
p8z68-vpro gen 3

Personally I wouldn't skimp on the PSU if you can help it; however I've had crappy PSUs that lasted longer than better PSUs (CX750M vs two HX850s). But if you get 1000W+PSU that is quality then you can rest easier and consider SLI down the road. FYI my 5930K @4.5Ghz on 1.3V with SLI 980Tis max draw is usually 758W with demanding games.
