You mean you couldn't use Corsair's psu calculator? (located here):

Anyhow, the 650 will probably do it, but that depends on what else your system contains, whether you OC, etc. I'd probably choose the Corsair 750W because I expect my psu to last longer than my video cards :)

A 650 will easily do it if it's good quality. The corsair is definitely good quality - it would take a pair of 4870s in CF without any trouble whatsoever.
