So in short I've been wondering if a 550W power supply will be sufficient for my fairly high grade (specs below) gaming setup. I will be playing GTA 5 on as high settings as I can manage, and other games (e.g Battlefield Hardline, The Witcher 3 and Rainbow 6 siege eventually)similarly, in 1080p. I will also be playing on triple monitors eventually, I know they are powered separately (not via the computers PSU) but I'm not sure how much the extra strain on the GPU will affect power consumption. I will also be using it secondarily as a video editing machine, running Vegas Pro 13, although this is not the primary role of the PC. If 550W isn't enough, please could you state what PSU would be suitable!
Specifications
Intel i5 4690k 3.5ghz
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3
8gb Kingston DDR3
4GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 970
1TB SATA III
Corsair H55 Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
550W Corsair PSU (I'm ordering from PC Specialist and it doesn't state the rating of the PSU.)
Thanks for any help! I'm new to this, so if i've missed anything out please say
Cheers, Tom!
