For my new computer I am building, I was wondering if a Corsair RM 650w would be able to power a GTX 970 MSI 4G, Intel i7 4790k and about 6 fans and potentially water cooling and an SSD and two WD HDD's??

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Wattage wise, you should be fine. However there are going to be a lot of people who are going to tell you to not buy Corsair RM Series power supplies.

actually if you wanna save a bit on the psu side the xfx 550w psu is a pretty good choice

Yeah, that should all just go fine. Just be sure you have all the correct connectors available in your PSU for all the components.

A R9 390 would be better, and 650w would be plenty

Yup, but there are people who say that Corsair RM series is pretty bad too.

PCPartPicker list for you if you need it

Compatibility issue in case you didn't know

  • The Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.
