My question is this...

Would this be sufficient to power the below spec.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020038-UK) £78.98
Total : £89.48 (includes shipping : £8.75).



The reason being I'm expecting one from an RMA, so this could possibly prevent me from having to buy new. The other option would be to sell the TX650 and upgrade to a 850W. What do you think? I do plan to Xfire in time, so would deffo need to upgrade then anyway...

YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire HD 7970 VAPOR-X GHZ 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE OcUK Ultimate Games Bundle £379.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £179.99
1 x Samsung 128GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7PD128BW) £119.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £112.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H70 Core CPU Watercooler (Socket Intel LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366/LGA2011/AMD AM2/AM3/FM1) £58.99
1 x Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (PV38G186C9K) £39.95
Total : £903.90 (includes shipping : £10.00).

 
I would sell and get at least a 750W, to give you more headroom for OCing the Cpu and Gpu(s), providing the Sapphire are not voltage locked.
 
That's what I thought, thanks for confirming :)

As I'll also be OCing I'll grab the 750w, might even push for the 850w!

Price difference can be minimal between the 750 / 850 watt PSU'S.

Andantech got around 648w from the mains whilst gaming with dual 7070's GPU'S.
