Max card for my Build

Solution


Hi - You can run that system with the Capstone 450 you now have. The key pwr rating is the +12v rail amps
available. The CPU & GPU draw their current from the +12v rail(s).A system with a gtx970 needs 28 +12v amps.
That Capstone has 37 +12v amps(more than any other 450w unit I know of). So, you are good to go!

The rub is that I already build this system, and got the PSU at a great price ($30), so I'd rather avoid upgrading the power supply already..
