650 watts will not provide 650 watts, always reduce 20% of what the manufacturer says. so your 650 watts ideally provides 520 watts of power supply which is good enough.. This depends on the power supply and is by no means a universal rule, Most decent quality modern PSU is usually capable of delivering most(if not all) of its advertised power on its 12v rail(usually the most important and taxed rail). This is closer to being true of low quality and outdated power supplies. For example my AX1200i is capable of delivering 100.4 amps(1204.8w) on it's 12v rail. If what you are saying is true it would only be capable of 960w which is false as I have personally seen it use more than that.

You sure? Post a pic. The only models Corsair made with 650w are the TX, HX, CS, VS, AX, RM. Here's a list of all of corsairs power supplies

Yeah, but as a thumb rule and to be on the safe side. coz the 80 rating (bronze, silver, gold, platinum...) those are like guaranteed to give 80% consistent power.. but those that are not rated, it's like a thumb rule while selecting..

Believe it or not,I have the CX650 interestingly.Anyways,so do you say that if I buy the graphics card,I am able to power it up with my CX650? If so,please answer.I think it's a TX650.. anyways, if you are in doubt, go to www.pcpartpicker.com, update your rig there, once you are finished, the top right corner will tell the max watts that will be consumed by your rig.. and then if it's below 520 watts, you are just good to go.. else, it may not support..
One other way is that nvidia recommends 600 watts, even in that angle, you are just good to go..
In short, you will not have any issues with it.. get it and just go gaming..
Oh.. just in case you are wondering, I would ask you to hold off your purchase as GTX 800 series are coming in a couple of months.. maybe a long wait.. but I'm sure it will be worth it..

It doesn't sound like you know what the 80 Plus rating is. It has nothing to do with how much power the PSU can delivery. It deals with how efficiently it can deliver that power. A PSU that is running at 85% efficiency means that 85% of the power it is drawing from the outllet goes to the system the other 15% is lost as heat. The more efficient a PSU is the less amount of power is wasted. A power supplies efficiency will vary depending on the load.

Best solution
^ +1 with that.. they are not of great quality..
yes. I'm sorry, I got confused between efficiency and consistency.. my bad.. anyways, as the wattage consumption increases, the efficiency reduces greatly.. that's for sure I know.. that's why I always keep the 20% off.. I actually read it somewhere in the forums.. not sure where..

Well for ~60 you can get a 550w xfx, kinda basic, but good quality. For ~$100 you can get a fully modular 750w EVGA G2 which is a very good psu and will give you room for future upgrades.

Well in the US after to buy the product you fill out a form(some also require the product to be register onthier website) and send it along with the receipt/proof of purchase to the rebate company. and theoretically you get a rebate check, or a prepaid card for the amount of the rebate. However it's more of a lottery, if you make a small error, the receipt lacks certain information they deem important, they will say they never got it. etc they will deny the rebate. This happens alot(atleast im my experience and that of some of my friends). Its to the point where I just completely ignore them as they can turn into a giant pain and are not worth the time and frustration. I would never suggest buying something and banking on getting the rebate. Sorry my description might be a bit bias, i really hate rebates.

Oh,ok.Uhm,should I buy the EVGA SuperNova 850G2 or EVGA SuperNova 750G2? Are there any difference except the power? And can 100 watt change a lot of things?The 750w model would be able to run 2 770's in most gaming setups but may limit your overclocking options.
The 850w model could run the same 770's and allow for hefty overclocking.
For $120 the G2 850w is a good deal
