AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition, Thuban, S AM3, 3.3GHz, 9MB Cache, HT 4000MHz, 125W, Retail

 

XFX HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual Mini Display Port Out Graphics Card

 

8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance, PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP, 1.50V

 

Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H, AMD 880G, S AM3, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), DDR3 1866(OC), SATA 6Gb/s, SATA RAID, ATX

 

These are some of the main specs and was wondering if my Corsair TX 650W V2 PSU could handle this.

 

Thankyou.

 

This build is now changing quite alot however remaining the same GPU and RAM

 

*NEW COMPONENTS*

 

Gigabyte Z68A-D3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

 

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz

 

These are the options Intel or AMD??

the supply calculator isn't an accurate measurement obviously (they lean a little more towards heavier psu usage) but it's a pretty broad estimate of what you'd need

 

edit: you didnt specify all the things needed for the calculator in your post so i just gave you 10 80mm fans, a soundblaster card 2 sata drives and 1 dvd-rw/dvd+rw drive and it came out about 400w

 

tbh i think you'll be okay but i dunno much about the 6870 power consumption

There is not a normal computer out there that needs more juice than a 650 provides yet. Only multi-GPU computers or servers with a shitton of hard drives need anything beefier than that.
