Hey beautiful community,
I am here to ask you a very simple question. My PC consists of a:
i7 4790k 4.0 GHz (Liquid Cooled)
Zotac GTX 970
8 GB RAM
Asus Hero 6 MOBO
Now I want to hit the big leagues and OC the beautiful 970. Because lets be honest OCing the 970 makes it a 980 and gives it a huge performance boost (atleast ~13 fps on Battlefield 1). I on my current build am using a no-name PSU 500w that basically is crap it can barely handle the system now, let alone OC'd. Now I got a SeaSonic 520W PSU and it didn't boot the system up sadly. I found a 1 year old used HX650 Professional Series Corsair PSU that I can buy. Now I really think the system does not need more than 600 with OC. But be aware it's the older version not the new one: it's this one http://www.corsair.com/en/professional-series-hx650-80-plus-bronze-certified-modular-power-supply. Do you guys think it candle my system, because I am scared of giving a lot of money again (it's really cheap from the guy I can get it from but still). I don't get why the system boots up with the damn * no-name PSU that I have now which is way weaker than the SeaSonic I bought... But nevertheless I really want to OC my system and am wondering if the 650W Corsair can handle it. I know it should and can but for some reason my system decided to be too damn weird with the other new PSU and not boot up and I don't want to repeat the process of failure.
Thanks
