I am building a new computer and am not sure what size of power supply I am going to need so hopefully you can help me out.

Here are the components that I will be ordering:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX

Video Cards: 2X EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler

Memory: (2X for a total of 16GB) G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR

Not sure how much hard drives and CD drives affect what size of power supply you need so if you want me to post those details let me know.

A quality 650w PSU should be fine. If you want some more headroom a 750w would be more than enough. (Overkill)

Nvidia recommends 700 watts for GTX 760 SLI.

a system equipped with Intel Core i7-3960X, ASUS P9X79 Deluxe, 16GB Corsair 1866MHz etc etc, and SLI 760, consume 520 watt in gaming mode..
