Went with 750W 80 Plus Titanium PSU (94% efficiency) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438063 …. It'll pay itself off in 1-2 years and has a 10 year warranty.

i7-6950X doesn't use much power at idle or low load. OCing it also only increases max turbo speeds, not base/idle clock/voltage.
-
Need 750W PSU because need more headroom for the discrete GPU when it's actually used, and PSU is most efficient at 50% load.
-
The Extreme Edition CPUs are actually quite efficient since they're really a Xeon that's binned as more efficient than usual.
-
No one runs them at low frequencies where they would beat a Xeon with the same core count substantially, but it's possible...
