System Spec:
i7-6700k OC to 4.5 GHz @ 1.35v
16GB DDR4
ASUS Gtx 960 Strix (wanting to upgrade to 1070)
SSD and HDD
Corsair CX-M550
I am wanting to upgrade my 960 to a evga 1070 ftw and was wondering if my power supply would be enough to power it. I have looked at Corsair's OuterVision PSU calculator and it is estimated around 490 watts (This is including the factory overclock from evga) which is not a lot of headroom especially since this card can be overclocked further. Do you think I am safe using my current psu or should I look at upgrading? I can hold off on overclocking this card until I upgrade in the future if that is what it takes. Thank you for your time.
