Corsair 600t VS Cooler Master HAF XM

NZXT cases are pretty good looking and I was a bit interested on the phantom but the one I have now is the Guardian 921rb (not a bad case to be honest). So judging from what you guys said I think I'll go with the 600t although the airflow on the HAF XM is pretty nice :p 

Oh, and on a side note: can a 650w PSU power a gtx 660ti, an i5-3570k and about 5 fans (probably the ones that come with the 600t and two more)?

you can put the 660Ti's in sli and you would still have power(although not that much)

As for the PSU

Quote:
Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) - 150 watts
Minimum System Power Requirement (W) - 450 watts


So, nVidia saying 600 watts for 2

Here is Guru3Ds power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 660 Ti - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450~500 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 660 Ti SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

I think I'll go with the 600t since it's more (obviously) beautiful than the HAF and I don't think I'll need that much airflow.

And thanks for the replies about the PSU, I was a little worried :p  I'll just overclock the CPU and GPU just a little bit.
