I am planning on building a computer, and the power supply I picked out is a 650 watt power supply from corsair. I have my parts listed below. Do you think that I need a bigger supply? If I do, what would you recommend? NOTE: I plan on water cooling eventually

 

mobo: asrock 990FX fatal1ty

cpu: AMD FX-6300 Vishera

gpu: Nivida Geforce GTX 660 x 2 SLI 

ram: 2 x 4gb DDR3

hdd: 1tb 7200rpm x 1

ssd: samsung 250gb 840 evo x 1

optical drive: 1

 

Thanks ;P

A 650W PSU should do fine. However, the EVGA 750w G2 is a good choice for when you change out components.
