For starters

The HX620W can take the duties of everything else. Pump, Fans, HDD, ect......

I guess a better question would be, what can I expect a quality 850w psu to handle?

I would think the 850W will be more than enough until you start LN2ing both GPUS as well Even then it might be enough...

I am running a 750W corsair for a 920 (not DIced yet) and a beefy 4890 cold air benched Had problems with a low Q 650W though.

I am not a fan of corsair PSUs overall... but they get the job done. My complaints are with the connectors they use (oversized IMHO broke a fan controller and thought I was going to break a video card with two different units)

I think the psu is the one area of investment you don't skimp on, personally. Motherboards, procs, gpu's come and go like the wind, but the psu is loyal to the cores.

Ordered a new Antec 1200. Hope she's up to the task. Thank you everyone for your help.
