For a system using a single GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater power supply that has a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

The Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX650M, with its +12 Volt continuous current rating of 54 Amps and two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is more than sufficient to power your system configuration.

That Corsair TX650 would be enough Juice to run Sli GTX 560ti

A 550w psu would be more than enough.

If you plan SLI, I'd recommend a 750w psu.
