The thing is taht it is REFERENCE 980, it is well known that aftermarket cards eat up more power. For example Gigabyte G1 gaming can take up to 50-70W more power than reference one.

if 20W is 70 for you,sure http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GeForce_GTX_980_G1_Gaming/25.html 

 

the thing is that these tests are made on overclocked six core i7. he has quad core.

If you want to stay in the most efficient area for your psu , get an 850w. Then you still have headroom for if you get a different cpu or even add another gtx 980 (but that would then start pushing an 850 a bit hard)

Please quote me or tag me if your trying to talk to me , I might see it through all my other notifications ^_^

Elaborate on a 630w corsair PSU. I Thought corsair only went in units of 50w, not including the CX430...

Apparently 20 = 70
