How much power do I need for this build? Need a short PSU for BitFenix Prodigy.

I'm going to be cramming an i7 4770k, Asus Maximus VI Impact, Gigabyte HD7990(newer ones with the Malta cores and only 2 8-pin connectors as opposed to 3 8-pins), about 4 fans, a fan controller, 2 1TB hard drives, and 1 solid state drive in a BitFenix Prodigy mini-ITX case.

The issue I have is I need a power supply that can adequately power these components with overclocking headroom for the CPU, RAM, and GPU. I was looking at the 850W XFX Pro PSU but being fully modular and 160mm means it would be a tight fit if it would even fit due to it being fully modular. The max Bitfenix recommends for the PSU length is 160mm but I believe that if your PSU is modular then it needs to be partially modular at that length due to the main power cables.

So if you guys have any recommendations on what I can get that will give me the OC headroom I want, and is around 160mm(but not more)and is partially modular, or something shorter that is fully modular, I would sincerely appreciate it.
