EVGA Supernova 650?

[PCGeeK10/24]

Dear Linustechtips Community.
Some time ago, I decided to build myself a pc for extreme gaming, rendering and hashing.
So that means for me that I need some powerful stuff, and therefor, also a powerful power supply.
My PC should feature the following parts:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k

GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 980 TI

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3

RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600

HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB (+1x 3TB USB3.0 external HDD)
 

Now, I am going to choose the right PSU for my system.
For that reason, I went to outervision.com/power-supply-calculator and entered the specs of my future pc.
this was 533W.
The website recommended the EVGA Supernova 650 G2, which is, as the name says, 650W.
Now, I have got some questions.
1) Have you got some good/bad experience with that PSU?

2) I want to go even further and push my hardware the hardest by overclocking it.
    Is this power supply enough for overclocking or will I have to buy one with some higher wattage for that purpose?
3) I am very confused about the whole 12V-rail-thing that I hear always off youtube and other forums, but I do not understand what that means for me.
    Will this PSU put out the 24V which I will need to power my system (esp. my GPU)?

I hope somebody will answer my silly question.
Thank you:)

Now, I have got 2 questions.

2) I want to go even further and push my hardware the hardest by overclocking it.

Its pretty good. If you dont really care about efficentcy and can find the XFX TS 650W 80+ Bronze for a lower price, get that.

 

 

Or the TS 650W 80+ Gold

Thank you very much Sir:)

It was especially curious for me, if the 12V rails are good enough for that.
I heared for a normal graphics card, 18Amps are needed at least.
For Enthusiast-grade ones, 24V should be fine.
And for dual-GPU cards of AMD Crossfire/Nvidia SLI, 32Amps will be needed.
So I searched for the website.
There is something that said 20Amps, and something that said 53Amps, so I was pretty confused which number of that to look for.
But now, I think the answer is pretty clear for me.
Thank you:)

It's a good PSU, I'd go for it.

As mentioned above the EVGA Supernova G2 line are some excellent PSUs. The whole 12V rail thing is as far as i can recall just an ancient myth. It doesn't really matter nowadays but don't quote me on that. All i know is that your system won't need that much power. probably ~350 max with all overclocks applied under synthetic load. You could probably also get away with a decent ~500W PSU.
