Hello. My knowledge about computer is quite limited so i wanted to put my mind at ease and ask and be 100% sure.
My computer is:
i5-2500
asrock p67 extreme 4
500GB Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ
Corsair SSD Force Series 120GB
8gb corsair vengeance
1 dvd/cd rom
Corsair HX 650W 80 plus bronze
6 fans (chassi and cpu).

Now it says on my graphic card that it wants 600w so if i want to have an asus xonar d1 sound card and maybe an extra harddrive would that be ok?

Thank you in advance.


 
You don't say what your graphics card is, but I don't think there's any single GPU (i.e. not a pair in Crossfire or SLI) that could not be run with the rest of your configuration on a quality 650W PSU like yours.
 
Yes!

You have a great PSU, modular, and the 650 watts will handle the any high end graphics card. When they say that the card requires 600 watts, they are referring to the total system power; not just for the graphics.

Hard drives consume about 12 watts (or less) depending on the model chosen. So, that will not be an issues for you. Similarly with fans; fans consume about 6 watts or less each.

Have fun building your system.
