Hi folks,

I'm planning my first desktop build in a LOOOONG time (currently running an Athlon64 rig) and trying to get a handle on power requirements these days. Noticed a great deal on a Corsair PSU (CMPSU-650TX 650W) on newegg. Will it run the following setup?

Intel Core i5 750
Asus P55 P7P55D-E
Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C8 4GB
2x Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 (Crossfire)
OCZ Agility 60GB SSD
2x 7200rpm Seagate HDs
2x IDE optical drives

I need to know if the Corsair 650w PSU will be supplying enough juice. Thanks in advance for your help!
