Starting to do my last plan-outs of my first upgrade, which is a new GPU upgrade (GTX 970).
First, the specs I guess.
CPU: i7 4770 @3.40Ghz
GPU: GTX 635
Ram: 12 Gbs
PSU: 460w Dell Genuine : http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Dell-Systems-Compatible-Numbers/dp/B009G28TOW (I bought a prebuilt)
Branding/Model Name: XPS 8700
Hard to find the particular model I have. It is a XPS 8700, but has a GTX 635 and i7 4770. (Not the K version). Anyways, I plan to ship out for a new GPU (GTX 635 isn't really a good gaming option), and that new GPU is planned to be a MSI GTX 970 4Gb. Now, I heard some people running on 460w fine with the 970, but some people said I should rather upgrade. I really don't wanna risk anything. So, is my PSU a quality brand (That came from Dell) good enough to supply efficent power to the 970? Or should I upgrade. Thanks.
