I currently have a single EVGA 2GB GTX 770 SC and a 650W Cooler Master PSU. I'm getting a second 770 and I'm not sure if 850 watts will be enough to power two of them. I'm currently interested in this PC Power & Cooling power supply as it is on sale for $100 after rebate for Black Friday. I have also heard that this brand is very reliable and high quality.

I would recommend at least a 1000 watt or more psu. It's not that much more money and you have more head room. Lots of new 1000W and above psu's available now and we should see some good cyber Monday prices.

PC Power and Cooling makes excellent power supplies but they're owned by OCZ, which just filed for bankruptcy, so I don't know that I would buy their power supplies...
