I am building a new Skylake Z170 build, with a GTX 960.
When i put everything together last night, the system wouldnt post,(almost freaked out) and then i noticed the motherboard has an 8 pin connector, just like the one that is used on my GTX card. My current PSU is garbage, and doesnt have 2 8pin connector. Actually it didnt even have one, i had an adapter for the GPU.
So going to get a new PSU for my new build, and wanted to know how many watts do i need.
For 1 GTX 970, 2SSD's on an ASrock Z170 Extreme 4 ---would 550 be enough? Or should i go to 650?
For upgrade path to SLI GTX 970 would 650 be enough or would i need to step it up to 750?
I was thinking of going with the Corsair RM series, since I am focusing on a silent build, my case is a Define R5 and my CPU cooler is a giant sized Noctua
thanks for input
