550w PSU good enough for a 970 gtx

zakattack117 · Mar 25, 2015

Hey everybody, I ordered a EVGA gtx 970 and I currently am using a Seasonic 80 plus gold 550w PSU and I was wondering if it is strong enough to run it. Nothing in my PC is Overclocked and I'm not overclocking the GPU and I really can't afford a new PSU anytime soon (after buying the 970 heh), so is my PSU strong enough to run my GPU?

Yes that is the perfect match.

Enjoy the 970!

Yes, easily so. And that's a great PSU.

You have plenty of room to run your new graphics card... and for a mild overclock on the CPU, should it please you.

I own the same PSU with an Radeon HD7870. It's very good. Even an R9 290X won't be a problem.

Yeah, right now I'm running a Radeon HD 7950 and I figured it would be good. Just wanted to make sure.
