So, I'm trying to build a gaming rig. So far I have decided on the following parts and I was wondering if a 750w Power Supply would cut it?
Parts-
Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D Mid-Tower Case
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 670
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K LGA 1155 77W Processor
Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard
Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast 750w ATEXPS
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3
SSD: Samsung 830 series 64 GB SATA III
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1 TB SATA III
Optical Drive: Lite-On 4x Bluray Disc SATA Internal
Thanks for any help in advance!

750 Watt would be enough and you could probably get away with 650 watt .
The GTX 670 has a power usage of 280 Watts at full force and the processor will run at about 160 watts or approximately 240 when overclocked
Btw if your only gaming 16GB RAM is overkill 8 would be enough and make sure that it can fit in with your CPU fan as i have heard that most CPU fans cant fit due to the big 'teeth' on the RAM.
and if you haven't i would advise you to get a CPU fan if your going to be over-clocking/ using the computer a lot

Thanks for the advice. Also, I will definitely invest in some a CPU fan. Also, the 16 GB is so I can also do some rendering for After Effects and such. But thanks for the heads up!
