PSU wattage *is* important, but the brand/quality is just as important too.
For example a Corsair HX/AX can easily output loads greater than they are advertised as. (I.E. 850w outputting 900w etc'.)
Where as something like a 1,000w Shaw PSU will literally catch on fire if you even try half of it's rated load.

I ran my system on a Corsair HX 850 for months with my current set-up, granted I did some undervolting to lower power consumption.

Plus, if you want to save energy, getting a PSU that's power efficient at your systems idle/load can be important to.

Alright thanks!  I'll probably stick with Corsair like I have and find one that's good and efficient. 

Just be careful when buying a PSU.  While most Corsair's are great, Corsair doesn't actually make them themselves.   An OEM does.  Many models are made by SeaSonic.   THIS is who you want your PSU to come from.  I prefer SeaSonic's actual PSU's over those they OEM for others but they are all still top quality.

And if they really powered those cards on a 750 watt PSU (regardless of brand), someone should be getting fired right now.
