I'm collecting all the components for you, hoping everything is ready by Christmas. I just wanted to ask the top experts if I have sufficient power capacity for the whole setup.

On the market, this model can deliver roughly 300-350W at most (just a theoretical figure). It's unlikely to reach that level.
The PSU you picked looks solid, no worries there.
In reality, 650W might be a bit too much. A decent 500-550W unit would suffice for the job.
If you're looking for something cheaper, the G550 Rosewill Capstone is available for $65

By the way, a 4GHz OC on a 6600K isn't particularly useful. It quickly jumps to 3.9GHz. You should focus on targeting around 4.3GHz for better results.

Hi superflyguy99
A solid build deserves a solid PSU.
The EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2 is a great choice and performs well on the Jonnyguru site.
Depending on your budget, I suggest the EVGA SuperNOVA 750W P2 for the additional $30.
The 650W should suffice right now, but if you plan to overclock and think about future upgrades, the extra power will keep you ahead for many years.
Great 10-year warranty and fully modular design – definitely the top option in my opinion.
