The right wattage

I'm doing a new build soon and I'd like your guys' input on the power supply. Would 650w be enough for a 4790k and a 780? I watched Linus' techquickie and used the cooler master psu calculator. It said 461w, but I wasn't sure seeing as that was a synthetic calculation. Real world, is 650 enough? FYI, I don't intend to go SLI in the future so I don't need the extra head room.

He who dies with the most tools wins.

Yes it will be more than enough to run this system so you will be fine overclocking on the psu (as long as its a good quality 650w).

You can probably go even less.
