Yeah you were right. Added another 7870 to check and didn't bring up any problem notifications with the 650w upon proceeding. Changed it back to the 650w now. Thanks again, Ruben.

No worries but as I said it might be tight, if you put 4 hard drives in the configurator it may request a higher PSU. If you are planning on adding fans or more drives then go for a higher PSU.

I'll definitely look into it, might increase it to the 750w just to be on the safe side. Should hopefully be purchasing within the next few days but I wont go ahead without checking things over.

I'd increase it to 750w as with the 650 corsair PSU only has the right cables to power 1 gpu and will need a special adapter to power a second off of that 650 psu so I would go for the 750W PSU in my opinion to be on the safeside and I can re-assure you in saying the 7870 is a good card for what it does.
Hope that helps
