Say I'm running Crysis 3 at around high settings with a med to high resolution. Will the 650 watt in the above build be enough? If not, how much power should I get?

Thanks.

Your's is enough. Just check some reviews of it on Hardware Secrets or some other trusted PSU review website. You can go even higher to make it overkill. PCPartpicker tells you the needed power and you should generally go about a 100 to 200W higher to make sure.
