650

650W should work fine, but many people would probably prefer a 750W PSU for dual-GPU rigs.

I'd go 750 or 850 even if it was me.  750 should do it, even 650 but I would probably go 750 at least if it was me.   Just to leave room.

i5 - 88w

970- 145w x2

----------------------

378

+100w for cooler + hdd + ssd (80w tbh)

------------------------------------------

478w with no oc.

 

oc:

i5- 150w

970- 280w x2 (had to base it off a 980 oc of 280w, could not find 970 sorry though it should be pretty close)

--------------------------

710w

+100 for cooler + hdd + ssd

------------------

810w

 

so if you are max ocing the system you would need a 850w psu or I would say a 900w psu to plan for psu degeneration(lack of proper term).
