Hi there, I am from Bulgaria but am currently in the US for a program called "Work and Travel". I have decided I will be getting a new PC and the best choice was to buy the parts fom the US and bring them back home for assembly. I will post my configuration below. Please tell me what you think of the components and if the PSU is good enough. I have already bought the parts but I might be returning the PSU to geg a more powerful one just in case. Still, I would like to hear opinions as I might attempt a return of sorts I don't think I will be overclocking anything, so keep that in mind..

Anyway, here are the specs:

CPU: Intel i7-4790k http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-4790K-Processor-Cache-BX...
GPU: GTX 780 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUIVSNS
MB: ASUS Maximus VII Hero http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2MASE4/
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB, DDR3, @2400 MHz http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUPV2RQ/
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO, 250GB http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-...
HDD: 2x WD Blue 1 TB http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088PUEPK
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI
PSU: Corsair RM650 80PLUS, Gold Certified

I don't know how it will affect the wattage needed but I'm also planning on putting in this blu-ray drive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2GTXKS/ref=gno_car...

Thank you for your time and answers!

I'd say that's the perfect PSU for your system. Nice choices!

The only reason you might want to get more would be in case sometime in the future you decide you want to SLI your graphics card with another. If you wanted to, just in case, you'd need about 850W.

No, a Corsair RM/CX/VP/ Builder won't do it.
Get an Antec HCG 620W/ EVGA SuperNova 650W/ XFX Pro 550W/ SeaSonic S2II 620W or above PSUs from the same brands, they're trusted for high end rigs.
My preference would be:
Best one overall:

Value for money:
http://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12II-620-BRONZE-SS-620G...

EDIT: Just saw that Corsair is Tier 2 Class A, excellent one, sorry for the jumble up :(
