I'm building a pc and I will be running a nividea gtx 970 atx 2.0. I'm in the market for some over clocking as well. Will a 750 watt power supply be enough? It should be more than fine but a few sites have said I need something along the lines of a 800 watt. Any help is appreciated!

The GTX 970 isn't really a power hungry card, I've got the g1 gaming and I can OC both it and my CPU on a 600W PSU and still have shitloads of headroom left.

 

You'd most likely even be fine with a higher quality 500w power supply.

600 would be enough in most cases even when overclocked.

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

I have an Asus Strix GTX 970, 750Watt is awesome, though I do recommend a good 80+ Gold as I've seen complaints about the 80+ Bronze's with the card.

 

Also dual GTX 970's can run on a 750Watt Power supply.  I had dual 970's but I gave one to a friend of mine.  No issue with my Max O/C running some demanding games.

Depends on the CPU you are using. OC'd X99 or FX-9590 you're going to be pushing it a bit, but still doable if you get good clean power delivery.

Game Box | 4690K | Z97i-Plus | G.Skill 2400MHz | x2 840 Evo | GTX 970 shorty | Corsair 250D modded with H105 | EVGA 650w B2 |
