hi all im thinking of upgradeing my I5 Socket 1150 to to Intel 1150 i7-4771 Core i7 and add anover GPU and 2 new 2TB HDD's do I need to upgrade my PSU as well?

my spec is as from mo

Case - NZXT H440 Mid Tower Case
Processor - Intel Core i5 4670k Unlocked CPU
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
Memory - Corsair Memory Vengeance Black 12GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Motherboard - MSI Z87-G45 GAMING Intel Z87 Socket 1150 Motherboard
Graphics Card - PowerColor TurboDuo R9 280X GDDR5 OC 3GB
Power Supply - EVGA SuperNova NEX750G 750W Full Modular 80+ Gold Power Supply
SSD - 120GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD 525MB/s Read 500MB/s Write
HDD - 1TB Western Digital 7200RPM Drive`
OS - Windows 8.1
 
- Why do you want to upgrade, not enough performance or what?

That 750w should just fit two R9 280X's but with not much to spare

If you do go for 2 280X's, get an i7 at the same time.

Why do you want the i7 4771 over the 4770k?

Also, I'd get 1x 4TB HDD unless you want RAID or something
 
Have you overclcoked your cpu?

Your PSU will be fine for a second GPU and if you did upgrade to a i7 cpu but I would try and overclock.
