hi everyone

I'm considering a new build with 3770k and 7870CF

so my question is

is Seasonic X-760 enough? even with kinda OC?

Yea should be perfectly fine.

1. Thats a REALLY NICE PSU.
2. It more then enough for what you need.

Even though it is 7870 crossfire, the PSU you have picked out should be able to handle that load no problem unless your doing some EXTREME overclocking...like liquid-cooling or greater. Plus Seasonic is the BEST with PSUs, they manufacture most if not all excellent quality PSUs for other companies like Corsair and others.
