What psu do I need with this 980Ti build?

MichaelHuit · Jul 23, 2015

I'm currently unsure what psu I'll need for this build. PCPartPicker suggests just under 500w, but with a 980Ti in the mix it just seems unlikely. I have an antec gold standard 550w psu, but I am assuming an upgrade to at least 700w. Am I correct in this assumption? If so, what psu should I buy, as a lot of them are low quality?
Thanks for the answers in advance!
Edit: probably a good idea to actually put the link in...

Which antec is it here is a list. Get 600w or greater from tier 1 or tier 2 ita ok to oversize alittle. Like 700w.

Thank you, corndog! I've had a quick look, the antec true power classic 650w looks like my best bet, and I found an MSI base 980Ti for £540. Looks like I'm going for that.

CORRECTION ..

corndog1836 · Jul 23, 2015

Sr71 blackbird and i gave you 2 psu's. They are both tier 1 and 650w. Its your choice either one will be great

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 23, 2015

The 650w G1 is not a good power supply , they are made by FSP , for an EVGA you want a GS made by SEASONIC or a G2 made by Super Flower.

Sorry i thought i linked him to the gs in the uk...

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 23, 2015

GS and G2 are the good 650w.

G2 is the better of the 2.
