Hello

Just updating my rig from a Gigabyte GTX560Ti OC to a Gigabyte GTX970 G1 so I can play Unity.

Was hoping some one could clarify if my existing Corsair HX650 (http://www.corsair.com/en-us/professional-series-hx650-80-plus-bronze-certified-modular-power-supply) will be sufficient to support the GTX970 and my i5-3570K when they are running under load.

Gigabyte spec a mimimum of 550W power supply and CPU boss specs the i5-3570k as 121W at peak load.

~~Other Devices connected~~
**PCIe WIFI/ Bluetooth adapter
**3x 120mm Fans
**USB Keyboard/ Mouse
**USB Headset
**Asus DVD Drive
**Seagate Barracuda 1TB HD
**WB Green 3TB HD

On a side note: should I be looking at adding another fan?

Thanks

It will easily work, as long as it's a high quality psu. if u are looking for a quality 600-650 W psu, you could find one around $100. Everyone has been praising the maxwell architecture for its power efficienty, and the corsair psus are some of the best in the business, and you will not only be fine, but you will have lots of wiggle room
