Is My Wattage Ok?! URGENT

[NickW]

I recently Bought a

CORSAIR RM650

I want to run a gtx 980 in the near future but have a gtx 760. The power supply hasn't came yet but do you think it will run well and quiet with a gtx 760 or a gtx 980.

I'm a big fan of quiet and I don't like the look of the cx series power supplies , so I'm hoping my psu now can run a 980 and an amd FX 8320.

The power supply calculators I can't really trust

[Tafel_Kafel]

What are your specs?

[ForFour]

should be ok. i run a gtx 770 and an i7 4770k with 630 watt and both cards you mentioned consume less than mine

[tekminute]

750 watt is more enough for a basic system with one card, with head room for another card in the future.

[blackberi]

system with i7 and 980 should not consume more than 400W from the wall even when slightly OC

Yes more then enough for your setup.

My system with i7 @ 4.2ghz oc and 2x 660 oc in SLI doesn't consume more then 300-350 Watt in most cases (I also have 7 fans 2 ssds and 4 harddrives). Before i upgraded to my AX 750 (because i got it almost new for 50 bucks) i used an 530 watt from be quiet

You could run ANY single gpu on that psu. Using a maxwell 980? You could stuff 3 on that same unit and be fine.

Depending on which variant he got, i would be careful with using more then one. Those Gigabyte G1 for instace can use pretty leaky chips Power consumption can go trough the roof with high overclocking

That's true. But I meant reference

Cooler Master has a power supply calculater which is very useful when looking for/checking if you have high enough wattage.

Psu calculators for the most part are quite unreliable. You're better off looking at power draw benchmarks.

Oh OK, thanks for clearing that up. I suggested it because I seem to recall Linus mentioning it in one of his videos I think. Yeah I just checked and it was in the fast as possible episode for choosing a PSU.
