the gtx590 is a power hungry beast. The recommended PSU is a 700w. But most people would point out that you never quite draw that much power. The CS650m was a decent PSU in it's day. But it's 5 yrs old. If yours is that old, and along with the max potential power draw, you could come into trouble. Not saying you will, but it could happen. The reason why, is power delivery and efficiency fall off as the PSU gets older. You may not have any issues, but if you do, be prepared to get a new PSU.

Also, the stock 6300 may bottleneck the GPU. By how much I don't know, and it may not factor in at all. Depending on what mobo you have you may be able to OC the FX6300 and negate some bottleneck.
