Ok so I posted a while back about what GPU to order and now I just ordered a evga gtx 760 superclocked but I was wondering if my PSU was ok for it or if I will need to get a new one. Currently I have a Raidmax 635watt 80plus bronze and want to make sure that will be enough to power everything. My build is

MoBo: ASUS A55bm-a

CPU: AMD A8-5600k 3.6ghz

Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws X series 8gb 1866

SSD: Kingston 120gb & corsair 60gb

HDD: Seagate 1TB

Don't know what other info would be needed but thank you for the input.

Yea I've heard that they aren't good PSU's but since it's kinda higher that maybe it would be fine but I would change it out if it's necessary because I don't want the GPU to get messed up because of insufficient power.

Ok because someone had recommended a EVGA SuperNOVA 750 watt but idk how much I'll need realy becuase I used an ASUS watt calculator and it said I would need about 713watts but I don't know how accurate that measurement was. Also I wasn't planning on OC the card because I'm still fairly new to OC so I was just gonna leave the card alone. However I was gonna add a second ram stick to match but I don't think that should make much of an impact should right?

if u get the EVGA G2 model 750 then thats a excellent PSU Tier 1 psu and comes with 10 years of warranty. But your system you will need not more than 500 watt.
the card have 170 watt max TDP, the processor have 100 watt of max TDP,and the other peripheral s i will say max 100 so your pc would be drawing about 400 watts of power at maximum and for additional head room and overclocking 100 watt is enough.
and online power calculator gives different results on different site . search Google for online calculator you will find asus , msi,extreme outer vision etc power supply calculator but they will give u different readings.

Ok thank you I'll order that next week then. Do you think it would be fine if I run the card like that for about say 2 weeks?
