Probably oc to 3.0ghz when i get the 780i.
Overall i just want to make sure that i know it can or cant handle the cards.
Im not a noob with psu's but im just not quiet sure with this one.

Easily. That PSU can handle 2x 8800GTX and a quad, which uses quite a bit more power.

750W is plenty and so is 60A.

I ran a 750W PC&C on my sig rig for nearly a year with no issues.

It's fine the 8800 GT draws 105 watts which is like 9 amps.
Your PSU has 60 amps on the 12v rail.
