Hey guys i have a 500 watt power supply that's 80+ bronze. And i was planning to buy a used 980ti. Will it be enough for my 500 watts? I'm also planning to overclock it

Ok, yeah if you had a really good 500W PSU you might have been ok, but I'd definitely recommend a new PSU then. If you get a high quality 650W+ PSU, it should be capable of running any single GPU build for years. The one suggested above is very good.

I used an online PSU watt estimator, and they claim 500 watts to be the bare minimum for your setup. If you are planning to overclock, I suggest 650+
