I am wanting to do a 980 ti build in a mini itx silverstone slim case (ftz01) with a 500w sfx-l power supply, but it seems like everyone insists a 600w psu is required. I am not overclocking and would even consider putting in an i7 4770s to reduce the wattage. The only compute heavy thing I do is game, and I don't care about having the fastest processor for the sake of having a fast processor.
On the anandtech review it is showing total system power draw under 400w for a single card solution. This was done on an x79 test bed.

When I calculate the 80 plus gold efficiency rating into the mix I come up with a worst case scenario of 460w - [400/.87=460], which tells me a 500w PSU is sufficient. Am I off in my analysis somewhere?
