First off all here are my specs
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V LX
CPU: i7-2600K LGA 1155
Ram: 2x 8Gigs DDR3 + 2x 4Gigs DDR3 = so 24 Gigs of Ram
GPU: GTX 970 (this is a recent upgrade for me.)
PSU: 700 Watts - XtreameGear SLI/CrossFireX Ready Power Supply ( I think I choose poorly one I got this PSU back in 2011)
HDD: One 2 TB 7200RPM
So I when I play new games like AC Unity, Batman Arkham Origins, TR 2013 with direct x 11 features and MSAA+ My PC will BOSD or freeze up. When I don't use heavy duty filters I am okay. So I determined that the problem must be my PSU.
I went to new egg looking for 850 Watt PSU and was ready to buy it but then I used new eggs Power supply calculator and It recommended that I get a 1179 watt PSU??
I goggled around and it seemed to me that a 850 PSU would be good enough but I guess not. Is the New Egg calculator messed up. I don't think New Egg even sells a 1179 watt PSU.
Here's the screen shot
These are the 2 PSU I was looking at:

or

I'm leaning more towards the CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W.
Can anyone offer me any insight on this, do I really need an insane PSU?
