Hello, i have bought Seasonic 520W PSU since i was thinking of GTX 960, but after reviews i considered to buy MSI GTX 970, so only one question, shoud i buy new PSU, or this will be ok?

Spec: I5-4690

1 HDD

2 -120mm fans.

Your PSU is going to be fine. 970 is not a super hungry card.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Even Nvidia says 500w is enough. So it's just fine and you may be able to OC them A LITTLE.

Edit: I'd even go that far and say that e decent OC should still be possible with 520W.

The only reason they say 500 watts is because then someone with a FX-9590 and a but load of fans and HDD's is covered by the blanket statement.
