Hello everyone, i'm from Brazil and hardware products here are really expensive. I've found a great deal on a OCZ ZT 650W PSU, and i'd like to know if it is sufficient to power my system that is:

- Intel core i5 3570K (not planning to overclock it yet)

- 2x MSI GeForce GTX 660 Twin Frozr III in SLI (non-ti) (These only require 1 pci-e 6 pin connector each)

- 8GB corsair vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz

- 1TB Caviar Black 7200rpm sata3

-MSI Z77A-G45 GAMING Motherboard

- 3 case fans + stock cpu cooler

Thank you very much, any help is appreciated. Please be optimistic about this PSU as it is the only attractive price i could find (otherwise im taking my dad crazy)

Yes it's more than enough. Your system at load will probably pull around at 400 watts. Have fun!

even a 550w would do it bro go with it.
and next time if u want to calculate the powerconscumption go to this site or someother power supply calculator site: http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/Power
if its says like 520 or 530 w than go with a 600 w leave a little room always

For a system using two GeForce GTX 660 (non-Ti) graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 36 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The OCZ ZT Series 650W (OCZ-ZT650W), with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 54 Amps and with two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is way more than sufficient to power your system configuration with two GeForce GTX 660 (non-Ti) graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode. There is ample spare capacity to handle any overclocking of the CPU and GPUs.
