Quick and dirty calculations of power usage (min - max):
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Gene - 57 - 123
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5 GHz Haswell - 70 - 80
RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast 4 × 8 GB DDR3 2400 MHz - 12
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 480 GB (×2) (Striped) - 1 - 4
HDD: Western Digital WD Black 3 TB (×2) (Mirrored) - 16 - 20
GPU: Radeon R9 280X - 15 - 257
Cooling: Corsair H80i - 4
Fans: Noctua NF-S12A (×2) & Noctua NF-F12 (×2) - 4
Sound: Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 - 12
Other: Bluetooth LE & Wi-Fi PCIe Module - 2
Final output: 193 - 518 Watts. 750W PSU is not a huge overkill, especially if he wants to add more drives and/or a bigger GPU. Also as mentioned by others here, PSUs generally run quieter at lower loads.
