Thanks ct1615.
How much Power will the rest of the system fetch?

You can always use a power supply calculator. It can give you a general idea of how much juice you will need.

It's always good to leave yourself some room. Sometimes PSU's don't output what they advertise, and over time PSU's can lose some of their wattage. Plus you might want to overclock that i5-2500k in the future, or add more components.

Plz tell me where the rest of the 300W will go i am a noob so plz don't mind.
Why then it is sli certified for the sake of branding i think the card consumption is low even at peak as compared to previous generation cards then how it got certified?
Or it is certified for only mid range cards.

Thanks dude for timely help. After a year i will change it to Silent Pro Gold 1200W or AX1200W then it will be future proof.

hey! how the cm gold 600W psu?? I am planning to buy it to can it xfire 7970 I wonder the max output of psu is 720W what does that mean? the psu is rated @ 600W so will it harm psu in long run to run it at 700W or 650W?

No. Don't even try that. Buy one 800W or more that will help you in the long run.
