Hello, I am totally new here and I usually am not a big forums guy. I googled for my answers online, and found a calculator and all, but I am kind of unsure about the results it gave me.
So here I am asking people that actually understand this on a higher level than me.
So I started building my own PC and already decided on what parts I want to get, some parts I already bought but I am not sure if the Power Supply I got will do the job.
I bought a "Corsair CX Series 500Watt 80 PLUS Bronze ATX/EPS".
Here's a list of the components:
Here's the catch though. I first planned to get a GTX 960, and later (after I already bought the 500W PSU) decided to get the GTX 970. Now I don't know if this is going to be enough?
So please if anyone who understands the calculations better than I do, could just give me the green (or red) light, and let me know.
Here are the results of the calculator (not sure if I should trust it or not)
EDIT: Here is another picture of the Technical Details for the GTX970, and the reason I doubt the whole PSU thing is because it says "Wattage: 550 Watts" on there. (Amazon)
PS: Oh, the calculator I used was "eXtreme Power Supply Calculator".
Thank you very much!
CHEERS!
