Seen a system with a 295X2 and 4770K consume ~600W in a game here, and a system with an FX-9390 in it consume (using a Linpack benchmark) ~330W here.

Conveniently, the second link also has the 4770K performing the same test. The 4770K consumes 160W less in the same test. So, although it's not accounting for the exact gaming load in the first test with the 295X2, if we add the 160 to the original tests 592, we are at 752W.

There's no way you'd want to have an 800W PSU, because you are way too close to the limit there, running a CPU benchmark and some GPU intensive benchmark at the same time would probably see you kiss 800.

So this limits your theoretical build to a case that can fit a full-sized ATX PSU with a rating of at least 850 watts. No SFX PSUs for that build!

The silverstone SG-13B can accept longer PSU, you just have to take off the hard drive caddy and there is at least 3 inches of room. I managed to cram a 150mm long EVGA PSU into the SG13B along with the hard drive caddy holding a standard hard drive. Only thing was it only fit with the fan sucking air from inside the case. But even with the hard drive caddy removed, there is an area where you can install a single ssd/laptop drive below the case fan/gpu.

E: Not advocating using AMD CPU's, but I was tempted to get a longer platinum rated PSU.
