Seasonic M1211-620 EVO Edition 620W Full Modular Power Supply

This is an old PSU from sea sonic. It seems OK, but I want to make sure it will work well with modern components (i5-4690k, ASRock Z97 Extreme4, GTX 770/R9 280x).

These are the provided connectors:
1 x 4+4pin CPU +12V
5 x 4pin Molex
4 x 6+2pin PCI-E Power
1 x FDD Power
8 x SATA Power

Yes that power supply is still a great one for a new build.

It can run either card you want.

It's a great PSU but Seasonic has not marketed it as Haswell ready so it may not be the best PSU to use with a Intel 4000 series CPU.

Take a look at this one instead

EDIT: 450 watts is plenty but if you feel that you might want SLI down the road take a look at this one as well

You can go into the BIOS and disable the sleep states and then it's fine with a Haswell setup.

Most don't encounter problems.
