Hello,
I'm gonna sell my R9 270X's from Sapphire and buy with that money and some spare money a ASUS Strix GTX 970. My question is, can the 650W PSU handle a GTX 970, i7 4790K and 4x 4GB of Corsair Vengeance Black 1600 Mhz? My PC worked perfectly with 1 R9 270X, 16GB but when I installed a second R9 270X my PC started up, and turned off all the time. So I had to remove 8GB and work with 8GB RAM and two videocards or one videocard and 16GB. So, will my PSU handle 16GB, i7 4790K and a ASUS Strix GTX 970? A friend of me told me that my PSU have multiple 12V lanes or something, its an old PSU tho..

it dose have enough W to be able to power your system but its not a good power supply by any means, you should look to upgrade this ASAP as the PSU can cause damage to the rest of your system, look at getting the EVGA 650W G2 this is one of the best quality PSU's on the market.

Okay thank you. And what do you mean with damaging the system? Is it cause of the 12V lanes or something? And can you tell me some more PSU's? I can't find the EVGA in Belgium market shops.
