Power supply good enough?

At the moment I've got a corsair TX 650W PSU, i5-2500K CPU @ 4.5GHz and a GTX 560 Ti. Will I be able to add another 560 Ti in SLI without upgrading the PSU or will that be pushing it too far?

Yes you will be fine

Also, 1 other thing I forgot, the power supply only has 2 6-pin connectors (might be 8-pin, I can't remember), both of which are needed to run 1 560 Ti at max performance, according to the manual 1 will do but it will not be as powerful, so what will the performance drop from just using 1 connector on each card be?

What you would be best doing is putting a PCI-E each into each card and then using two molex to PCI-E adapters to plug into each cards second power connector so you balance the load across the psu..

The cards must have both power connectors filled.
