A quality 650w unit is what I would recommend for this card, but not all 650w Cooler Master units are quality. Which model do you have, specifically?

This is the one. Thanks for the answer!

If you were looking at a $300 graphics card, I'd say don't worry about it, but this is a $1000 card and you NEED to have a reliable, quality unit for it and the GX 650 is not that. I strongly suggest upgrading to one of these:

Its weird because when i bought this they said its the best 650w PSU on the market...

Anything to get the sale, I guess. Did you buy it at a retail store?

A reseller. And the price is higher than Rosewills PSUs on Newegg, but i dont know

I saw LinusTechTips running it witha 550w PSU... so i think it could run it good.

Higher price =/= higher quality. And 550w is fine because the rest of your parts are unlikely to use as much power as the rigs that are usually used to test graphics cards, but a 650w is ideal for running the card overclocked for the sake of efficiency.

Also, I suggest reconsidering the Titan and making your PC more balanced. If you're using one 1080p monitor at 60 Hz, there's no need for a Titan and you'd be much better-off with a 7950, 670, or 7970.

Well i use 2 monitors 1. 1080p 60hz 2. 1650x1200 50hz and i also do alot of 1080p recording. So could a GTX 680 be better?

You'll only be able to play on one monitor, so a lower-end card would be better. I do not suggest the 680 because it is not $100 better than a 7970 or 670. A 670 overclocked performs about as well as a 680 overclocked, so there's really no reason to get a 680.

Even so, if you've got the money to spend on a titan, I don't think ~80 USD is much for a power supply that isn't going to fail.

What CPU are you going to be using?

Amd phenom II x4 2.8 GHz, i have one atm

You're going to be bottlenecked to the point where you won't see any significant performance increase compared to say, a 680.

To balance your system, you'd be better off upping the CPU, Motherboard and the GPU.

You can get a better card for less:
