Do you already own the psu ? If not get the G2 version. If you already own it then it will work ok.

it'd be very tight..... i'm not sure to be honest. 

 

I think a 850 would be more comfortable. 

 

Maxwell draws very little power

That little though? I also said to get that one for some OCing headroom and other components he may eat to add

 

I mean It seems that my recommendation is wrong, but i'm still surprised. :P 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

If you had 2 290X's yeah but 970's draw 165W of power each and a 4790K draws 88W, so OP will be fine.

Do you already own the psu ? If not get the G2 version. If you already own it then it will work ok.

The EVGA Supernova G2 is made by Super flower and is based on the Leadex platform which is far superior.

 

The NEX version is made by FSP and is based on the Aurum platform.

 

You can see the difference in the reviews below.
