I got gtx 570, 2700k overclocked and thinking of adding a gtx 275 for folding goodness. Can my 650W seasonic PSu handle it?

with the GTX 275 folding... probably not... if so its pushing it.
just the GTX 570 and your cpu yes its fine.
btw... are you OC at 1.45v? that quite high voltage for your cpu.

hmm... i got my i5-2500k at 4.8ghz at 1.35v. the 2700k is 200mhz faster than the i5 at stock. some chips are better than others, but then again putting that much heat/power into your cpu is it worth the extra few hundred mhz?

It is for folding yeah, not so much gaming. Im thinking of tuning my overclock down to 4.7ghz, see if i can run 1.40v. Temps only max out at 75C though at 1.456v.

Your overclock is fine, you're good up to around 80-85*C on that CPU.
Your PSU is more than enough, even if that were two 570's and folding.

Throw a couple more 570's in there, and we MIGHT need over 900W.
You'll be fine.
