no offense mamw93 but where are u getting ur numbers?!?
I mean, im not attacking u or anything, but u DONT NEED that sort of power in anything.
I would ask u to do reading b4 posting dud information and confusing posters here

Back to the OPs question, imo its not the best out there...its mediocre. Wont blow up but wont give u great efficiency and compared to others, its performance is not top notch.

In anything?

I'll fully agree that the OP will be fine with a good quality 500W or so from Corsair or Seasonic (or similar), but there are certainly systems out there that absolutely need 700-800W or more. For example, I have a fairly highly overclocked i7 with a pair of 4870x2s (I just recently added a second :) ). That certainly requires more than 650W under full load (though I haven't measured it since adding the second 4870x2).

Well, yes i understand that

But u get my point
I mean, yea if u want to stay in the efficiency sweet spot of 60-80% then get a 850/1000 watt for UR system (or 2 295s)
U could probably run that on a 650 (try the Signature :D ) but it would be a very high load :X
But i mean...700/800 for 2 GTS 250s?!

The Signature 650 comes with one PCIE 6+2-pin and one PCIE 6-pin cable. It has the guts to run a pair of high-end cards, but not the cables (without adapters). I think it is intended mostly for either a single high-end card, or for people (like me) who just want the peace-of-mind of having an excellent PSU.

Maybe, but I think the actual draw will be well above 650W full load. I doubt that the Signature 650 could pull it off. I'll test it at some point though, and post the results :) 

(Oh, and I have a Corsair HX1000W)
