As the title suggests, I was wondering if my 750W XFX PSU will be enough to power my rig. Below are the specs:

GTX 590
Intel i7-3770
1 Swiftech DDC pump (Black impeller) 18W
2 Alphacool DC-LT pumps
1 DVD/CD drive
2 HDD (7200RPM) Caviar Blue
Razer blackwidow ultimate and Death Adder

All explanations are welcomed, an explanation of how to determine required power is nice too, I am overclocking my CPU and alittle on GPU.

It should be fine, the 590 consumes much power when overclocked though.

Yeah. Since I assume you won't be overclocking, you should be fine.

I am planning to overclock though, how would you calculate the power consumption when overclocking?

You are limited on the 3770, like 4.1 ghz, which is not much at all. Even if you overclock the 590 pretty high, you'll be fine.

Assuming the VRM on the card survives any adjustments at all

Gotta love those exploding 590s.
