PSU spec

What would you recommend with the following components all in one build:

HIS 6950 (Non OC)
Shappire 4670 (Non OC)
i5 2500k (Probably a multi OC only, no vcore)
3x 7200 Hard drives
DVD Drive
WIFI PCI card
5x 120mm fans
Several usb devices (phone charging off usb as well)

I've got a corsair TX650 atm, just wondering if it'll be fine when i upgrade to sandy

yeh it will be fine, sandybridge has quite good power consumption.

Ihave the tx650 with a 2600k @4.5ghz and 460 sli and its fine.

A 4670 and a 6950 together?

Your current PSU will be fine.

Yeah I'll be running them both like I am atm. The only purpose for the 4670 is to power my second screen. I'm not a fan of idle temps of 59C on my 6950, tried undervolting/underclocking but couldn't get stable and it only got temps down about half as much as adding a second card. Probably works out the same with the power the 4670 uses against the power saved on the 6950, with lower idles.

This makes me think now, if my good old trusted HX620W would handle new system similar to yours.... but I think since it's only 30W difference it should be fine too, what do you guys think?

Even if you decide to Xfire the 6950, the 650W should be fine
