I'm not exactly sure what would be needed since this computer will be running two video cards, not in sli/crossfire, for a multi monitor set up (8). With that being said there will be two geforce gtx 750s that require 400w for one so I'm not certain how much two would require + all other components.

Here is everything the build will have aside the PSU.

My intial guess is 750~+ watts. There will not be any overclocking.

What a surprise, I would have thought much more power would be needed than a 550w with everything combined and two video cards. Guess I'll be able to save a few dollars.
