I wouldn't attempt it with a 650W psu. I would recommend 750W at minimum. GTX 580s are power hogs.

[AMD Athlon 64 Mobile 4000+ Socket 754 | Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro nForce3 | OCZ 2GB DDR PC3200 | Sapphire HD 3850 512MB AGP | 850 Evo | Seasonic 430W | Win XP/10]

650W will only do two 580's if it's a top-tier PSU. Corsair CS will not cut it
