Put everything into a build on PCpartpicker.com

It will tell you if your build is compatible, and if it's not, you can check a setting where it will only show compatible products, so you're not building something that wont work.

'Haswell Compatible PSUs' simply output a low amount of electricity along the minor rails... it's just advertising for the most part, and nothing to worry about.

They'll be compatible. There's no reason that they shouldn't be.

For a PSU to be "Haswell (or Skylake) compatible" it has to be able to output an extremely low load on the minor rails to keep the PC actually on, just in a low-power state. Your CX650M will work fine in this way, but can I ask why not a CX550M?

Haswell compatibility doesn't usually cause issues, but one thing to note is something that happened to me personally. Before I swapped my old Core 2 Quad out of my current chassis for an i3 4360, the LED would blink when the PC was asleep. Now, with any Haswell or newer CPU the LED will be completely off when the PC is asleep.
