No way 650W psu is not enough with an SLI 570 :/

how about 850?
or even 750
im liking the look of the ocz one overclockers has with a free copy of mw3
It is. Just about anyway. not something I would do
Also, your sig is 3 lines too big

With 3 sticks the memory will just run in single channel.
That will be fine. TBH, unless you find a particularly cheap 850, you may want to get a 1kw for £15 extra

SB requires dual channel. IIRC, you can't get 1GB or 3GB XMS3 so i'm pretty mind****ed right now
Ah.. Required? Or recommended? Never used SB so I wouldn't know.
Edit: I think my question was pretty much answered by what people have already said. Disregard.

my sig rig pulled about 550-600W under BF3 Beta, thats with 9 fans, 2 pumps and heavy overclocks on both GPU's and the CPU.
@OP your current PSU is fine unless you plain on heavy overclocks

With 6gb of RAM in 3 sticks you are running in single channel mode.
You would get better performance running 4gb (check your motherboard manual to make sure you have 1 stick in the first channel and 1 stick in the second channel, otherwise you will be back to running in single channel mode) in dual channel than your 6gb in single channel.

will try just 4 gig and see how i get on thanks
@ib complexity, your rig looks like it'll draw a good bit more than mine with the 2 pumps and two 570's
cant believe it only draws 600w playing bf3 though

do the math! you think a 650W works 100% efficient? NO it does not. At least get a 750W. I bought a 850W HX corsair was just lucky enough they brought me the wrong one 1050HX

Yeah without the overclocks its roughly 500W, which would be a breeze for your PSU, Upgrade your PSU if your overclocking... if not then I don't see the need.
