Good day everyone.

I will get a gtx 980 ti in 3 weeks, and i know my 450w psu wont be able to power up my system if i add the new gpu in it.

I am looking at seasonic m12ii 620 evo. Will this psu capable of providing power to my i5 2600k, gtx 980 ti, aftermarket air cooler, 1 dvd drive, 1 HDD and maybe a 2nd one or an SSD in the near future.

And is there a significant difference between a bronze and a gold certified PSU?

Thanks!

Knightdog56 the 600w recommendation includes enough wattage to cover the rest of the system using a mediocre PSU. In game benchmarks the 980Ti peaks at about 330w and in stress tests at about 380w. 850w is all that is needed for Sli 980Ti's, 620w is more than enough

Which is which? sizzling and maz199 said that 620W psu will be more than enough. but knightdog56 is suggesting for more? i also have read that the 980 ti requires a 600w psu. i reallly am confused.
