If you have no plans for a second card the 650W should be sufficient. There's also any extra fans or peripherals, but it looks like you'll be fine.
If you are hesitating because of the cost of the 750W, I wouldn't because you really want to get a quality PSU that can handle any overclocking or expansions in the future. I recommend getting the 750W as it will be with you for the next 5 years.

so 650W is too small for mild overclocking?

No 650w is fine for any overclocking. 750w is only necessary for futureproofing against adding a second graphics card. Look for Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling,XFX, or Enermax for top quality.

Don't forget OCZ's Z-series & Fatal1ty.

Where are you shopping for that TP 750?
Antec TruePower New TP-750 750W - $99.99

Personally i wouldn't pay $40 for a blue fan if you're looking at TP New Blue.

well, it's Australia, and also I think this is the NEW TP750. Now I'm going to use the Antec EarthWatts 650. Will that be enough for my i5 2500K mild overclocking?

The Earthwatts 650 is fine for 1 x GTX570 and heavy overclocking.

Yes the EA650 is a good unit it may not be pretty but does the job.

OK, thanks guys. I've gotten all the answers I want from this thread. I've decided to go with EA650 as I am not going to add another GPU anytime soon.

Can close this thread.
