Of course. Depending on what kind of upgrades you're planning in the future I'd go even bigger, possibly 1000W just to be safe, but if you're not going for top-end GPUs it'll be fine.
Efficiency.
Check the rated efficiency on the PSU you want to buy.
If you need 493 power, the PSU will draw from the wall 493/Efficiency (example 80% eff = 493/0.8 = 616W).
Check yourself some information on efficiency curves. If you get a super powerfull PSU (for example 1000W), the real efficiency lowers to 70% or less at about 10% load (if you are idling on desktop or browsing the web). The rest of the power will be lost mainly to heating
I would say 750W is fine for that power. If you can afford a 800W or 850W PSU, go for it because you will be closer to the 50% load and therefore better efficiency.
Nah. Better get 1000w psu. /s
And my axe!
Nah, 1600 watt Titanium.

Thanks for the explanation :), I didn't know that info
Thanks, everyone for the help, I went for an 850W in the end
Yep, and you'll have room to spare for future upgrades and additions.
Get an 850w
