i currently have a 650w psu here is my specs:

cpu: core i7 920(not oc)
mobo: p6t deluxe
gfx card: 4850 (2nd one for crossfire is on the way)
sound card: xfi xtreme gamer
hdd: gonna have 4 500gb hdd and 1 320gb hdd
drives: 1 dvd drive (IN A MONTH ill have a blu-ray player and a new dvd burner so 2 drives altogther)
fans: 7 120mm fans and the 230mm fan on the case (cosmos s)
ram: 6x1gb ddr3 triple channel 1333

what do u guys think i need psu wise
also did i miss any components

Antec Psu Calc is telling me i need about a 655 watt at full load
 
All those PSU Calculators are useless.. the true way to tell if a PSU is enough is by the brand of the PSU and the amps on the 12v Rails..

Tell what your PSU is
 
Antec Neopower 650W

well i just noticed it only has 4 sata but thats ok since the 5th hdd is gonna go away as soon as i get my external 500gb since its just being used currently for movies and anime
 
I'm not completely sure myself if you'll be able to or not. But my best guess is a yes.
 
uhmmm there are people on this forum running lowish end SLI/Xfire setups on like 400watt coolers. I think it'll handle unless you OC A LOT or plan on getting a second card. The only reason i went with 750watt over less powerful PSU's is because i plan on SLI'ing at some point
 
For the Crossfire setup you might want to consider a 750W psu.

Newegg has the PC Power and Cooling 750 for something like 85 bucks after rebate.
