Will a 600W Be Quiet 80Plus PSU work with an Asus Maximus Hero VII and Intel i7 @ 4Ghz?
As in the title;
Will a 600W Be Quiet 80Plus PSU work with an Asus Maximus Hero VII and Intel i7 @ 4Ghz?
Current GPU is GeForce GTX 760 but I'll be adding a GeForce GTX780 Superclocked so it'll have to deal with both of these too.

Or will I need to get a different PSU? If so, which would be appropriate?

Thanks!

I would like to note you cannot run a GTX 760 and a 780 or anything else at the same time unless it is another 760.


I definitely needed to know that - thank you.

Have you looked at the GTX 970 & 980. The offer increased performance and both require only 500 watts.


Oh, really? I didn't realise that. I'll probably look for a 980 in that case. :)

Yes, the single highest draw on the power supply is the graphics card. The minimum system requirement for a GTX 780 IS 600 WATTS and 42 Amps on a single rail. I would bump up the power supply to at least 650 watts.


Alright, so it should be fine with the 760 until I add the 780, then I'll need to bump up the PSU?
