Brand new gaming PC.. but..

[Beremus]

Hello everyone!
I just bought a brand new gaming pc and I was wondering what PSU should I get... Here is my spec:

i5-2500k
8go G.SKILL Ram DDR3
Gigabytes P67X-UD3-B3
Seagates 1Tb 7200rpm 32Mo Cache
CD\DVD Writer
Asus Radeon HD 6950 810Mhz 2Go GDDR5 5Ghz
Antec Three Hundred case

I just need help to know what PSU I should take... Will a 650w be enough?

That is an excellent choice for your psu. Usually I like giving my opinion on what to get but you nailed it first time out.

Even if I overclock my CPU and my graphic card a little bit ?

(Like 3.8Ghz for CPU and 870MHz for radeon)

I did a psu calculation with your cpu overclocked to 4.0GHz, is that a small OC for the K series??? I didn't see where to oc the video card but with your current system config it came to only 465W. If you plan on adding more hdds and ssds and optical drives along with water cooling and fan controllers and pcie cards like sound cards or scsi raid cards and stuff then I'm way off of course. But with the setup you mentioned and a slightly higher overclock then you mentioned your 650W is plenty Check it here. Add anything you might want to add in the next couple of years just in case so you won't have to buy another psu down the road. And where it asks about capacitor aging I always use a minimum of 25% as you should too.

The Antec 650 would be great.

I recommend you buy a semi-modular psu since the 300 has next to nothing cable management wise.
