You have plenty of wattage and a good quality PSU, no problems here.

 

However, I'd highly suggest waiting for Ampere to come out later this year for a bigger jump in performance.

Wattage should not be an issue at all, 650 is plenty 

 

 

Edit: here is a really good psu wattage calculator that seasonic has on their website if you ever wonder about what your system will likely draw

wattage and quality are more than fine, just wait for ampere and big navi, the 1060 should be decent i would say.

It's not perfect but for a ballpark estimate it is good, there really isn't a good way to know without already having the system together and measuring the power draw. It is certainly a lot better than pcpartpickers estimate

quick question.  Do I need a 750W PSU? For this build? The PSU is quiet expensive for me (I dont mind spending it, but it is expensive)

If I dont need 750W and there is a cheaper and better psu could you link it for me? Thanks.

No you don't. A 550w is more than enough.
