Question on Thermaltake QFan 650W

[thekimbobjones]

I am assisting a friend with his build and he likes the Thermaltake QFan 650W as he can get a good deal on it. The only info I can decipher on the specs page is 650W continuous, 750W peak (for 60 seconds). The following are his powered components, and he is also interested in upgrading the video card when new gen is available later this year.

INTEL CORE i7 920 (D0) - Modest Overclocking to 3.4ish
GIGABYTE EX58 - UD3R
6GB G-SKILL 1333 NQ
SEAGATE 500GB
INNO3D GTX 260 896MB
SAMSUNG DVDRW OPTICAL
CM STORM SCOUT

Will the PSU be suffice with this build and future in mind?
Cheers.

Well with 52A on the combined 12v rails (4 of them) it will be plenty of PSU for that setup. You could even go with the Corsair 450vx/550vx. They would have plenty for that setup. I'd personally go with the Corsair 650tx or even the 750tx. The 750tx has plenty of upgrade room and has 60A on a single 12v rail, which to me is better than 4 seperate ones, IMHO. The Corsair 650tx is usually had for about $80 after MIR's and the 750tx is about $100 after MIR's, so depending on how "good' of a deal your friend gets, he might consider one of the PSU's I listed above.
