My old power supply died I have the following computer and was wondering if Corsair HX650W is enough for it. I saw one on sale locally.

Asus X79 Mobo
i7-3930k@4Ghz
32GB RAM
ASUS GTX780@stock
2 SSD

That's it.

Thanks again.
 
i7-3930k - 130W
GTX780 - 250W
Everything else - <=100W

That adds up to 480W peak, I would say 650 would be plenty assuming no aggressive overclocking going on.
Overclocks can cause those numbers to go up very quickly.
 
Aggressive air overclocks:

3930k: 200-250 watts.
780: 300-350 watts.
Everything else: ~50-100 watts.

With aggressive overclocking, doable, and fine for a normal gaming computer.

I have to ask for statistical reasons (*and out of curiosity also :p )!!
What was your old PSU, and after how many years died?

It was an Antec High Current Pro 1200W. I bought it in 2010. Don't feel like spending so much on one now, plus the Corsair is on sale.

That's not even remotely close.
