I would like to add a GTX 980Ti SC from EVGA with my current power supply until December. I will not be overclocking my GPU and it will be cheaper than a GTX 1070.

Will I be fine until then?
 
Solution
Why a 980 Ti now and not a 1070? At least on Newegg the two are pretty much the same price, and the 1070 is a better pick. As fast as the 980 Ti or faster, 100 watts less power use.

In the UK, the GTX 980ti is £50 cheaper but I have decided after posting to get the GTX 1070
