7870 GHz edition xfire - how much power is needed

[IllogicalGlory]

I currently have a corsair TX750, is it going to be able to handle this setup?

I wouldn't bet my granny's life on it, but you're probably fine, depending on your exact set-up.

Assuming an i5-4670K at stock, typical RAM/storage, you should be looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-600W for your system with 2 7870 GHz editions in crossfire.

Well, I'm using a 3570k @ 4.2GHz, will I have to clock that back to stock if I want to be okay? I also have a tiny SSD (32gbs).

You can get a VERY rough estimate here:

But my suspicion is that you're probably OK.

You should be fine.

The TX750 will handle HD7970 crossfire, so you are perfectly ok. Overkill in my opinion, but you already have the PSU

You will be 100% fine and will not come close to 750w. A 650w would handle it fine.

I ran a 2500k @ 4.5 GHz with 2 x 7850's off a 550w PSU without issue.
