I just bought the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005, But now that i recieved it think i should have gone with the 750 watt model. I plan on running 5870's crossfired, an i-7 920, two harddrives and two cd roms. Did i make the wrong choice with the 650?!?! Thank for all the help!!!!
 
You'll be fine with the TX650. It is a high quality psu that can actually deliver 700 watts at peak load.

Here are the official power requirements for the ATI Radeon HD 5850 and HD 5870 video cards.

PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard

500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75 watt, 6-pin, PCI Express® power connectors.

600 Watt or greater power supply with four 75 watt, 6-pin, PCI Express® power connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode.


ATI Radeon™ HD5870 System Requirements:
