Okay So this is the PSU - 650 Watt CORSAIR Gaming Power Supply Unit


I am ware currently I would not be able to overclock the PC or add a second of third graphics card with this PSU

here are the PC Specs

Intel Core i7 4790K 4GHz TURBO 4.4 GHZ Quad Core Processor
16GB Memory DDR3 1866 Mhz Corsair
2000GB SATA 3 hard drive + 240 GB Sata SSD
NVIDIA GEFORCE 980 GTX 4GB DDR5 Graphics card
Gigabyte Z97X GAMING 3 USB 3.0 motherboard SLi AND CROSSFIRE READY
24 Speed DVD-RW Dual Layer Multi-Format
300mbps Wireless N Adapter
Stylish ZALMAN Z11 PLUS USB 3 CASE


Just for playing games with one graphics card currently would it be fine? I am planning to upgrade in a couple of months time.

No, because you're looking at a pre-built and I can guarantee it's one of the horrible quality Corsair PSUs. RM650 by any chance? I'm also going to guess they went super budget for the SSD are are using a 240GB V300. GTX 980 is not worth the premium over a GTX 970. "Stylish" case is absolutely terrible. Can guarantee you are wasting a lot of money on this that you shouldn't be.

A good 450w unit would be more than enough for that PC overclocked.

If you're not overclocking, get a Xeon E3 1231 V3 or i5 4460 and a cheap B85 motherboard. (Read: Don't get pre-built)
