Will my PSU cope?

Going to do a mini itx build this week with the below components. I was wondering if my 650w Seasonic X - Series Gold PSU will suffice or if I should upgrade it.

Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150
Asus GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU OC 2048MB
Asus Z97I-Plus Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX
Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO
8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum

XSPC D5 Vario Pump & XSPC Acrylic Tank Resevoir Combo
Aqua Computer Kyrographics for GTX 770
EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy - Full Nickel
2x 120 radiators

I've never done a water-cooled build before so if any components won't work together or if I have picked the wrong GPU for the GPU water block please let me know.

Thanks

PSU should be fine, when I added the components up it doesn't look like you'll exceed 450 watts.

I'd be more concerned about radiator capacity, I like to aim for a minimum of a 240 rad per component. What case is this going into?

You would probably get away with thick 360 and fans push/pull, or 2 x 240 fans on push only.
If you are not going to overclock anything you might get away with less rad, but I wouldn't try doing this without at least 360mm worth of rad.

Cheers, hopefully an In Win 901. Not much room to start with, although external rads may be the only way.

Any suggestions for alternative ones that would fit?

Thanks, looks like some of the EK water blocks will work instead
