Is this psu overkill

Phenom II 955

Palit 460 1gb

Asus m4a78lt-m

1tb samsung spinpoint f3

4gb corsair xms3

Standard dvd/rw blalhblahl

PSU: Corsair TX650W

Is this overkill? Taking into account the fact that i may upgrade gpu and or/add more ram or hdds ect ect. thankya

No thats the sort of supply you'd want for upgrafeability I'd think maybe a modular so you only use whats needed I'm looking at the modxstream series from ocz at the moment for an upgrade.

The TX650 will be fine, and perfect when you want to add another 460

Adding more RAM and HDDs is fine too since it won't affect the power consumption too much compared to GPUs.

I have the Antec 750 watt version since Jan 13th 2010, never had any problems with it dying or having to return it. After a while it may make a slight ticking sound, don't worry it won't blow up, it's probably just the bearings or accumulation of dust, nothing major.
