Use the below tool to calculate your PC's power consumption:

PSU Calculator

And the Corsair 750TX can output a maximum of 900W(at 45º C,80% efficiency), although I wouldn't recommend pushing it that far.

Hope this helped.

It can actually handle your current system but a higher capacity PSU can make your system future-proof(handle upgrades).
Corsair PSUs are known to deliver more power than the labelled output figure.

Does it ever stop! "Newegg Our recommended PSU Wattage: 772W"

I think I'm just gonna go with the CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-950TX 950W. It's $90.00 Cheaper
