GTX570 PSU enough?
I was considering a Seasonic X-650 650W ATX PSU for my GTX570 (single card), do you think i will be enough? Keep in mind that my system will be on 24/7 for the next 4/5 years.
As far as the cpu goes (i5, 2500K 3.3Ghz) I may or may not OC, but even if I do it will only be to 4.0/4.2Ghz. Is the 650W ok or should I go with a 750W |

Yes 650W is plenty enough, Seasonic hands down are the best power supplies on the market, 4-5 years 24/7 should be no problem at all.

Minimum recommended PSU for a GTX570 is 550 watts with two 6 pin PCI-E connectors. That's 550 watts with an average quality PSU, a Seasonic is top quality. It's not the wattage that's important, it's the amount of amps on the +12v rail or rails.
