Hello! I've recently bought all my PC components and are now sitting in my house, except for the GPU, which is coming in a couple of days. I have a Rosewill HIVE 550W power supply that's going to go with my build, and I bought it because it had a nice wattage and thought it would be enough for my build with a 970. Now I'm questioning if it is enough because I was researching and apparently the 970 needs 30 amps on the 12 V rail and I'm not sure if the Rosewill HIVE can provide that. Should I return the PSU and get something better while I still have the chance? Or is it okay because I think it's a very nice PSU for the price and really don't want to go through the hassle of returning it. Thanks!

i might be cutting it a little close but it should be fine considering the gtx 970 draw a max of a little over 200, that is unless you running a overclock x79/x99 cpu
