It's plenty--not cutting it close at all.

Would this PSU be able to run 2x GTX 670? Can pick another 670 up for cheap hence why I am asking.

 

I ran the PSU calculator and maxed out future possibilities including more HDD and LED fans and hit 594w with the system at 100% peak load (ALL components) and 100% CPU TDP.

Is that cutting it close even though realistically ill mostly being doing word processing/streaming and gaming at 1080 (Titanfall, NBA2K14, FIfa 14, WatchDogs !! cant wait for this game).

If i left the load settings defaulted (85%CPU TDP and 90% pc load), I have 524w.

My current PC specs can be found in my sig . I dont plan on overclocking however the new GTX 670 is an MSI oc edition.

I would go 750w or higher to be within the peak efficiency that is between 20-80% load on the power supplies

My PSU is 650 continuous power. I have looked online while many say theyre running 650w perfectly with an oc, others are saying get a 750w so I have no idea. Obviously 750w will definately be fine however thats not the point as I would have to go out and buy another PSU just to SLI which in the end wouldnt be worth it as I can probably just buy a better single card solution with the 8xx series.

It's not an ideal PSU I would have gone with due to its design, but the NEX650G can power two 670s.
