WTF? Is this accurate?

I was using eXtreme PSU Calculator and my specs are soon to be:

AMD FX8120 Zamebezi 3.1 Octa-core AM3+
16 GB 1600 AMD Performance DDR3
EVGA GeForce GT550Ti (x2 in SLi)
ASUS ROG Crossfire Formula V FX990
Samsung 830 64GB SSD Primary
WD Caviar Green 5400RPM 500GB (x2 /Secondary & Backup)
HP Lightscribe DVD+/-RW CD-R/RW
200mm Cooler Master Red LED case fans (x4)
140mm Cooler Master Rear Exhaust and Video Card Shroud Fan
Zalman CNPS9900 MAX 135mm Red CPU Cooler
Logisys Super Bright Sunlight Stick 12“*18LED RED (x2)

It can't account for the CPU cooler and the LED sticks, but calculating those specs it tells me to go with a 527W PSU with 6.7A on the +3.3V, 12.3A on the +5V, and 36.9A on the +12V with a 900 VA.

I have a SeaSonic X Series GOLD 650W. I am really really hoping this is true but, rarely is that the case. Help enlighten me. If it isn't good enough, would anyone post a great recommendation?

That will be a fine PSU, someone I know ran the same (no really) setup as that on an XFX pro 650W and he's since upgraded to a GTX590 on the same PSU, I think XFX are just rebranded seasonic and even if they weren't seasonic are pretty much the most reliable out there

a XFX Pro 650 is based on the S12II and M12II mixed up. The X series are some of the best power supplies money can buy. An X650 can and will efficiently provide up to 850w+ of power with no ill effects just fine.

You'll be good.

Thanks a lot everyone. I have gained great perspective from this. The PSU has been one hell of a good product too. I thought I had just lucked out lol. I'm glad I can trust that eXtreme PSU Calculator tool also. It is going to be amazingly useful for me to save money and strain. Can't wait to go SLi! I am so tired of this little gt430 low profile card. I was able to game with it running high on anything I threw at it but... well change is good. Emotionally attached to hardware LOL!
