Hey,
So I built a rig a while back, and now I want to upgrade it some. I am planning to get a EVGA GTX 970. Will my current 450 watt power supply work for it? My current specs are:
Mobo: BioStar b85S3+
CPU: Intel core 13 4130
GPU: GTX 650 Ti (aiming to replace w/ the 970)
Psu: Antec VP450 450W (do I need an upgrade?)
Ram: Ballistix Crucial 8 GB (one stick)
HDD: (2x) Western digital 1 TB
I'm using a LG dvd rom optical drive
Using a USB hub, standard Keyboard and mouse
DISPLAY: I'm using 3 different Monitors at the moment, but they run on their own power.
No other fans besides the one in the case and each part's on board (i.e. heatsink, Gpu that has fans, etc.)
No SSD
So, should I upgrade my power supply, or will 450 watts be sufficient for adding the 970?
Thanks for putting up with my noob-ness
Sincerely, MaliciousBanana
