Hey guys, need some help, I build a computer in feb....

 

specs: 4770k- ,256 SSD, 2tb WD, 750ti, corsair h80i water cooler, optical drive, corsair 600W psu, Corsair vengeance 16g ram. 

 

I want to replace my 750ti with the new  asus 970 OC.  Will i have enough power from my PSU to power it? 

 

 

I know the new cards are super efficient. Do you think i'll need a bigger power supply, or should it be fine??.. all thoughts welcome..

 

 

thanks in advance.

yes, 600w is plenty

 

You could probably get away with SLI 970s at 600w.

you guys sure?! the 750ti only pulls 40 watts,so the 600 power supply was plenty, so it's nothing..

 

i think the 970 is like 200 or something like that.. 

750Ti tops out at 65W, 970 is about 150-170. You'll still be fine though.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.
