Hey Guys!
I was browsing some articles on the internet, and got myself a little worried about two things:
1. My CPU running hot.
2. My Desktop running out of juice and parts getting damaged by this.

As you may have seen if you were kind enough to read all that, I'm thinking about a 650Watt Power Supply, however a few factors are making me nervous.
1. I know somebody with very similar specs as that. and they have a 1000Watt PSU.
2. On the config page, when you go into the GPU info, is says that the Radeon 7970 requires a system minimum of 750Watts.
Although the on-board calculator the PC config system has, says the system on load (including a 20% allowance) would use 618Watts.
Not to say I don't trust PC Specialist, its just I would be more comfortable with multiple opinions.
The next thing is the Corsair h80i cooler. I've read many good things about this cooler, although many people whom have a i7 Sandy-Bridge E CPU, use a h100i cooler. Now you're probably thinking, "then why don't you go with the h100i you dumbass!" well I defiantly would if it weren't for the fact that the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer doesn't have enough space, and I have my heart set on that case. However, if you guys say my CPU will run hot on that cooler, then I will reconsider the case I use.
Just incase this will help, I'll be using the PC for video editing, rendering, recording and extreme gaming.
Thank you guys for reading this far!
TL;DR
Basically I'm not sure whether the PSU and liquid cooler can handle the specs of this system. Could I get some second opinions please? Thanks
