Hi everyone good day, i'm setting up a new rig but i'm having second thoughts about the psu i am choosing, here are what i'm planning to set up, i need your suggestion if this is ok or need improving :)

Case: Corsair 600t
CPU: Intel 3770k
CPU Cooler: Corsair h100i
MoBo: Asus Sabertooth z77 or MSI 7zza gd65 gaming series(either of the two)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB(2x4GB) 1866 Red
GPU: Asus HD 7970 Direct CU II top
HDD: WD Caviar black 1 TB
PSU: Corsair AX750 watts 80 plus gold fully modular


is the psu effecient enough or do i need a higher wattage?
 
I would personally suggest waiting a few weeks for Haswell. If you really do not wan't to then this rig looks pretty decent, I would recommend the GD65 over the Sabertooth. I would also highly recommend that you ditch the WD Black, and instead go for a Blue drive and then with the money you save, get a 64GB SSD for a boot drive and applications. Everything else is good, that psu is certianly efficienct, you could run that on a 500w, but for upgradibility I would recommend an AX760i
 
I personally would say wait on the rig and watch out for next gen cpus/gpus. A 600t IMO is too expensive for what it provides. A 650watt PSU is ideal and can handle Xfire or SLI.
