Hi all, I need to replace a power supply in an old pc. I think it's 650-700w, but could it be too much for a GTX960+AMD FX8320?

Is there a tool to help me evaluate the proper power range needed?

Power supplies are also more efficient when not near their max load, so a 1200w only doing 650 is going to be better off than a 700 doing 650.
