Will a Gigabyte Superb e620 620 W psu be enough to power one gtx 980 ti g1 gaming and an i7 4770k i7 OC'd to 3.9ghz? I use the computer for gaming mainly.

The EVGA will be fine.

Somehow you managed to sneak by w/o killing the +12V rail on that Gigabyte PSU. The GTX 760 at 100% usage drew ~15 amps from the +12V rail. The OC'ed i7 drew another 8 to 10 amps. That left ~11 amps for the rest of the components in your system. And that is if the PSU was 100% efficient. Of course, it wasn't. More like 80% efficient. You got lucky.

The 980 Ti is a 250W card. That means it will draw somewhere in the neighborhood of 21A from the +12V rail when it reaches 100% usage.

How did you find out that the +12V rail on this one is small? I have this PSU and its likely the cause of reboots while gaming. I'm trying to understand this whole rail dilemma.

You really should start your own thread rather than hijack a 2-year old necro thread from somebody else.
Having said that... the PSU's specs are in the link I referenced above.
