What PSU to take for msi gtx970 4g sli???

Hello dear LTT community. I am going to be brief and short. I already the msi gtx 970 4g GPU and I would like to upgrade to 1440p. So I am getting another one to go sli. The gpu requires 1x6pin and 1x8pin connectors. What psu should I get to hold up? I thought about something like this: http://www.corsair.com/en/rmx-series-rm650x-650-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-psu

Will there be enough cables / the right connectors? or will I need another gpu?

Thx, Memelover6969

It has 4 PCIe connectors. I found it hard trying to find any more info on the website though. I would assume that 2 of them are 6 pins and two are 8 pins.

Thank you everyone, this was amazing. Much fast response, very wow, much helpful :D 

Last question: Will all the given cables (4) be able to fit all at once in the psu, the back of it seems not to have that many connection outputs.

thx,

you wont need all 4, you'll only need two since you're only doing SLI.
