I am currently running a 700 watt corsair psu with a 780gtx and i have been thinking about saving for a triple monitor setup, im pretty sure the 780 should be fine running 3 screens but will my power supply be able to cope with running the 780 and the monitors or should i get something closer to 1000 watts?

I have found it hard to go wrong with Asus as well.

Though honestly, my triple-screen setup doesn't really add much to gaming... where its value lies is in productivity, where it is easily worth the price. The gaming just adds a slight bonus, though most games I am forced to run on a single monitor, anyway.
The monitors don't normally receive power from your computer power supply. The 780 will run most games very well at high settings on (3) 1080p screens.

A 700 Watt corsair unit is plenty for any CPU and 780 combination with room for overclocking figured in.
