Hi folks,

I've compiled a system setup with the help of forum members and friends.
Before I make the order, there's one last question bothering me:

Will the PSU (XFX PRO550W) be enough to:
-Power the system (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wVBj7P)
+ Overclock my CPU later
+ Add another HDD in the future
+ Plug in xboxcontroller, external hard drive sometimes, any keyboard+mouse I might buy later, cellphone, USB-hub,...
+ Have some headroom left?

Offtopic: what do you guys think of the system? :)

yes to all, but with that setup you won't be able to add another GTX 970 for SLI without upgrading the PSU.

The main power draw components in a system are the CPU and GPU, the other peripheral stuff barely takes any power at all.

The PSU is big enough for one card and any other odds and ends.... but not enough for SLI. It's built on the Seasonic G Series platform which includes:

Antec EarthWatts EA450G-EA650G
Antec TruePower Classic
Antec EDGE 550-750
Corsair HX650
Fractal Design Edison M
XFX TS Gold
XFX XTR

Yes it's more than enough for a single 970 card setup.
