Would a 500W PSU work for GTX 970?

[Spoderman!!]

So i bought a GTX 970 and I7 4790K and i wanted to use my old (5 months old) PSU with 500W But i'm not sure if it's going to be enough if someone knows please tell me

Depends what 500W. A good quality one, definitely. Not a Diablotek though.

A Corsair one would work. But getting a few more watts wouldn't hurt

[IMPERIUS]

Yes, it will be enough but I don't recommend ocing. Also if the psu is not a quality one then I would change it, they are quite cheap

[TrickedProGaming]

I'm using my overclocked GTX 970 with an i7 4790 with my cooler master 500w PSU since a couple months and I never had problems with it.

Where did Corsair come from

It will be fine, assuming as point out above it's a decent quality one. My i5 4690K and a 980, so very similar to yours, run fine with on a 550W PSU.

Corsair PSUs

OP never said anything about what brand it is, which is why we're questioning

[Lord_Karango17]

A cx should be fine. Ran 2 760's, and a 780ti on it no problem.

 

A little higher wattage may allow for wiggle room if you want to sli, but for one 970, that should be fine.

[Guest Kloaked]

Just don't get a POS one, which goes for any PSU purchase.

 

I always go Gold rated personally.
