Hey all... I just have a quick question. I am looking for a power supply for my PC so I can install a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 into my computer.

My current PC specs are :
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
GeForce GT 640
8gb Ram
Microsoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit
Realtek High Definition Audio

Anyways, my current PSU is pretty low like 400W for the GTX 970. I had a Thermaltake 850w laying around in my closet but was unable to install it because the Sata cables would not reach all the way around.
My case looks like this http://i.imgur.com/s2R9R5P.png

Is there a PSU I can buy where I won't have this problem or am I installing it wrong or can I buy an extension? I'm just pretty stumped on what I should do. If someone could help me I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

Hello,

The GTX970 draws 80 watts more than the GTX 640, my recommendation is atleast 500W strong PSU as the Geforce site recommends as well: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt...

Any standard ATX power supply will do in this case, go with a brand you trust.
