i believe it will but may i ask what is your budget for your build? do you have a specific budget for your PSU, if you are really worried i recommend downgrading your SSD to a 120gb and spending the extra money on a XFX XTR 750W of an RM 750 from corsair.

I really wouldn't advise that. His psu is just fine. So he'd be downgrading real world benefits for something he doesn't really need.

i did say i believe it will and if he is really worried then that is what he should do, but my reasoning is that he would have a little big of headroom with a 750W

Be Quiet is a pretty good PSU maker, that 650W unit would have no prblem handling that build so don't worry about it.

Even 650w could be considered overkill. In reality the numbers that NVIDIA or AMD put on their website for GPU wattage usage are complete BS. They just put way higher numbers than in reality because they don't want people returning the cards and calling in to complain that "because of NVIDIA my computer doens't turn on :("

 

Even 450W would be enough (although personally I wouldn't recommend it because the PSU will likely be quieter with a lower load). In reality when gaming heavily you'll probably be using something like 390W with the build you stated you have. Of course that doesn't mean you should go out and buy a PSU as close to the load power usage as possible, because if you want your CPU to be quiet and have a little room for upgrades and want to charge your phone with your computer etc.. you definitely want some headroom.

 

Generally what I do is I add about 40% to the actual load power usage I estimate (for a regular 780 or 770 card + intel i5 overclocked a little it's usually around 350W under load) then I get something that's around 40% higher than that. It really depends on PSU prices though.
