Will my Rosewill PSU be able to handle a 480?

I have the following PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182101
(Rosewill Libertas 650W, modular, single +12V (50A) rail)

Newegg recommended a PSU capable of handling up to 644 watts in order to run my revised build, but since we all know the machines are planning to kill us I've decided to ask human beings (or imposters) through the interwebz.

My current specs are in my signature, but let me know if you need any more details. I've just purchased a used EVGA GTX 480 with a stock cooler, as well as a PCI-mounted fan to put under it.

With my 5770 in, I've been surprised by the temperature of the air coming from the PSU's exhaust fan. It is significantly warmer than the rear-panel exhaust fan below it. Should I be worried about what will happen to this thing when it meets the 480?

Theoretically, 650W is more than enough for a GTX480, but I can't seem to find much information about the Rosewill Libertas series. However, it is 80 plus bronze certified. Maybe it's a decent enough PSU.
