im trying to decide on a psu for my next pc build,

optical drive- ASUS SATA 25X dvd burner

mother board- GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H

CPU- intel i7 3770k

Graphics card- nvidia geforce gtx 680

RAM- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)

Hard Drive- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s

Im considering a corsair TX 650W psu, will that be enough for this rig or should I go up to the TX 750W?
 
The 650 is plenty for one video card. This one for $38 after promo code and rebate is a steal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028. 46 amps on the 12v rail; should also be enough for your rig.
 
A 550W quality psu will do, 650W is more than enough, the corsair TX 650 is decent enough, though, depending on the price, i recommend the XFX Core Edition 550 or 650.
