Currently building this:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz
Noctua NH-D14
Corsair Obsidian 650D
MSI Z77A-GD65
Samsung 128GB SSD 830
Corsair Professional Series AX650W
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250ohms
Corsair Vengeance K90
Seagate Barracuda Redline Ridgebacks 1866mhz
Samsung SH-S222BB/RSMS
Asus Xonar Essence ST
Windows 7
MSI Lightning Radeon HD 7970 OC 3072MB

I intend to overclock everything as much as possible, and i'm worried that 650w wont be enough?

Opinions?

I have no plans to SLI/Xfire at all.

Quick calc shows that to be a 400w system before over-clocking so you will be completely fine with the AX750w

Won't even use that much under load, maybe 300W max.

With a power meter, and you're using the exact same system as him?
