A good quality 350W PSU should be fine for what you have listed.

Based on the very limited information in your post you are definitely in overkill mode.

Please list the rest of you pc components.
Are you a hardcore gamer?
Are you using mutiple video cards in SLI or Crossfire mode?
Why are you interested in a 1,000 watt power supply?

I run 4 folding machines with 1 1500W PSU... and they all have an 8800GTX and overclocked Q6600 each. So from the very limited info you've given us, that's hugely overkill.

~650W would be perfect if you planned on getting a dual-GPU card, 450W if not.

Your HX620 will easily handle the additional load.

^+1 the HX620 should be just fine. You won't use too much additional wattage overclocking your CPU. Of course it would help if you listed the rest of your components.

^5 and +1 what Kraynor, theAnimal, and megamanx00 said.

GEE! You just saved yourself some money. The Corsair HX620 is an excellent hig quality power supply that very reliable and rock steady.

lol, a 1500W PSU is definitly overkill.

I agree with the other replies, your current Corsair HX620 PSU should be fine for the hardware you have listed and your planned overclock.

~650 would be fine i agree. i have a 650 watt silencer for my setup and i got plenty of room to expand.
