power supply/ cooling HELP!

[ReganDaC]

Hey guys, this is my first time posting here and i could really use some advice. I just recently finished my first PC build, here is a link to the part list.  http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/bTkBxr

After running a few games at 4k, Iv come to conclusion that I want to throw in another GTX 980 in SLI. So my main question here is, will I need to upgrade to a bigger power supply? Iv used some of the online power supply calculators, and they say that I should be fine, but they are calculating the numbers for a reference 980, which uses 2 6-pins for power, whereas the Gigabyte G1 card I use, requires 2 8-pins which leads me to believe that they have a higher TDP. On the box they recommend a 600W power supply for a single card, so Im a bit confused as to how i should proceed from here. I also want to know, if there would be anything i would need for better cooling. At Idle my CPU is usually at about 24C and my GPU at 30C. Atm I cant remember the temps at load.

 

I also have future plans to throw in another 16gb of RAM, another SSD and HDD, and another NF-F12 and a couple of NF-P14s. Not really sure how much more power i would need for these additions. Although these wont be for another year until i start to do a little bit more video editing and sound prduction for school/work.

 

any advice is appreciated!

16GB for gaming is more than enough, in the power supply zone of the forum is a thread with all the info of wattage, check the thread and some of the first post for links.
