yes.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Will a 650 watt psu power this

GPU:Gtx 760

MOBO:Asus Z97-A ATX LG1150

CPU:i5 4690k

Im pretty sure it will but i dont want to mess anything up and regretting not checking

Depends on the power supply. There are some cheapo PSUs which can't safely output the wattage listed.

No that isn't a very good psu. You can get a much better 550W unit for less.

Or even a 750W

Nope, just another mediocre sirtec unit. For the same (or cheaper) price you can get a better quality PSU.

 

For that system you don't need 650W. This 550W Rosewill Capstone is at a great price:

 

 
Total: $39.99
