Will this PSU be enough?

Its actually pretty poor for a 700w psu. As others have said, the hx620 from corsair has combined 12v output of 600w.

I've seen plenty worse, take no notice of the overall 'marketing' wattage its meaningless. As I indicated for the proposed application 552W is plenty. I didn't offer an opinion, there's far more to be considered if you wish to compare devices than the sustained power output. Droop under load, power factor, efficiency at load point, peak to peak ripple, noise, running temp, cross loading, connections, OEM - the list goes on.

Nothing wrong with the Corsiar's though, I would go for the Seasonic OEM versions personally. Same OEM as the PCP&C Silencers. The TX-650 is a revision of the Seasonic S12, supplies 624W/52A@12v.

HX-520, HX-620, TX-650, VX-450 – Seasonic
HX-1000, TX-750, VX-550 – Channel Well

Same review site, so hopefully a similar methodology to the tests. Testing of things like psu can be so variable across reviewers, so you won't get a truly accurate answer tbh. Least its better than anecdotal reports. Anyway from those graphs, and move up the load curve so the fan is actually running, they look similar.

First thing I'd say looking at the two (excluding modularity), the TX has a single rail so you can avoid any over current issues.

Cheers for the links. So you'd actually say the TX is better excluding modularity. I thought dual 12v rails were good?
