Hi,
In like 2 months im gonna upgrade my GPU to a 7970 (highest i would go) and i want to ask if my PSU is good enough to run it with no problems? Maybe even OC.
I have been thinking of getting a gtx 670 if the 7970 uses too much watt, maybe you also have other suggestions.

My System:
PSU: CORSAIR V2 650W TX 650TXV2EU 80Plus Bronze
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 6870
CPU: Intel core i5-3570k
Mobo: Asrock z77 pro3
RAM : Corsair Vengeance low profile 8gb

Sorry if my english is bad, its not my main language and thanks for the help :)!

nope they are actually supposed to be slightly cheaper, and yes they require even less wattage then the current 7970 so its a actual win-win (since you are waiting about 2 months, they should be released within the next few weeks)
