GTX 970 PSU recommendation

Hi!

What PSU would you buy with a GTX 970? I currently have a 6 year old corsair CX600 PSU

Thanks

Here's a guide to all good and bad PSUs.

Here are a few recommendations though I would get something around 550W. In no particular order:

Corsair CX450M
Corsair CX550M
Seasonic S12II 620W
EVGA 850W G3 PSU.
EVGA SupierNova G3 550W version HERE.

Goddamnit i meant to write 970 GTX. My bad. Are your recommendations still viable? Both cards require 500 W but the 970 use 2 6 pin connectors while the 1070 use 1 8pin.

Still the same answer

I currently have a 6 year old corsair CX600 PSU. Is it really that bad?

Stankenestor :

I think that link answers your question fairly well.

Tier Four

Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.

So unless you can't afford a newer, better one, keep the CX600 temporarily though I wouldn't use it in the long term. Note that PSUs directly affect your cooling as well. Better the PSU, better the cooling.
