Refreshing build, 660W Seasonic enough?

Go to solution Solved by Aniallation,

So, after getting sucked into folding@home (thanks to LTT!), I decided I wanted to go ahead and update my pc this year, rather than wait.  Anyways, I was wanting to get an i7 4790k, dual gtx 970s and probably switch from air cooling to one of the AIO water cooling options.  I currently have a Seasonic 660W 80+ Platinum psu, and was wondering if this would be enough, or if I need to bite the bullet and upgrade the PSU as well.  http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss660xp is a link to the psu.

It will definitely be enough as long as you're not doing extreme OCs (>5GHz on CPU, etc)

It should be plenty. Dual 980s may even work.

I think it should be enough, but you can put your whole setup into PC part picker and it will give you an estimated TDP in watts.
