Yup, your PSU will be enough.
Can a BFG Tech 650 watt GS PSU run a GTX 260?

Official word: It should not be a problem.

You will be fine. I ran my old GTX 260 on a OCZ StealthXStream 500w for a while, it was fine.

Oh, that's a great idea.
Wait: maybe I should switch to water cooling before he tests the GTX 260 on this PSU. That way I'll have plenty to drink.

Wow lol, That's quite the bet you have going there.
A friend of mine is being kind enough and letting me borrow his GTX260 before I go out and buy one. So tomorrow I'll hook it up, I just wonder if the 40 AMP current is enough and not pushing the PSU itself.

My HX520W loves my GTX 260. It has a +12V rail of 40A (480W) too! The GTX 260's box says that the minimum power requirements - which are always pretty bloated - are a 500W power supply with a +12V rating of 36A.
But still, I love how cool your friend is in letting you borrow his!!
