with xfx 650w u have a good quality modular psu... and u have the sufficient wattage to sli... i would change the wd black for samsung spinpoint f3.. its faster and cheaper..

also.. why do you need 2gb?? get a normal one... and its not gts its gtx

noctua its very ecpensive... why dont u get cooler master hyper 212 plus... its much cheaper and it does the job fine...

haf x its very expensive... haf 912 makes a good job and its much cheaper

650W is ENOUGH, but it doesn't leave you much headroom for overclocking or upgrading in the future. Also, I'm with others when it comes to used power supplies...don't do it...power supplies degrade over time, you definitely don't want to start out in the hole. Also, I THOUGHT OCZ was a decent brand, but I have an OCZ GameXstream 850W that's less than 6 months old and I'm already having issues...so I would recommend one of of the bigger brands that have already been listed.

P.S. I find this link really handy when calculating PSU wattage: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
