Well you dont want to be running the PSU at 100% load all the time, 60% is best.

will this be enough for i2500K oced to 4ghz-5ghz, 2x 6950s(unlocked to 6970, poss a 3rd 6950/6970 in the future), 128gb crucial m4, 1tb samsung f3/f4, possible dual loop watercooling system(if I have the money/can be bothered with the time it'' take to install it)?

I can't believe this they're just trying to get more money out of you.

Well thermaltack said 630ish and corsair are saying 950w+
I would wait on ocuk's response.
Stulid is the man, and I would go with what he says.
Thing is, the PSU is the main component of a build. Like a battery on a car, dead battery, dead car. So you only want to buy it once. Me personally I would be looking at 750W minimum so you have head room.
850W is a sweet spot.

That thread you linked to has people suggesting 650W onwards, with a few saying 700W and 750W
Which goes back to my orginal statement.
Only 650W! Wow!
If it was MY rig, i would go for a 750 and then you have headroom. For upgrades etc.
But 650W should be ok,
