Is this psu good enough for my setup?

I have a 650w psu and I want to build a new gaming rig, but hoping I won't have to buy another psu.

ASUS P8P67

ATI 6850

Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Corsair Force Series 120GB SSD

Intel Core i5-2500K

Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B CPU Cooler

ony Optiarc 24X DVD Burner

A lot of similar builds I see as having a 1000w psu, will my 650 be enough?

    Yes, your 650w psu will provide more than enough power for your setup. You don't need anything above 650w unless you will be running dual or tri video cards, and more than three hard drives with several optical drives also.

    As a general rule, if your power supply has enough power outlets for all of your drives, cards, etc, then you don't need a more powerful psu.
