Yes it seems to be.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

yeah its alright, but I'd recommend getting a 750w PSU with that 980 Ti honestly 

Early 2020 Build : Intel i7 8700k // MSI Krait Z370 // Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Aorus 5700 XT // NZXT H500 

Early 2019 Build : Ryzen 2600X // Asus Tuff X470 // G.Skill Trident Z RGB 8x2 16GB // MSI RTX 2070 // NZXT H500 

Late 2017 Build : Intel i7 8700k // Asus Prime Z370-A // G.Skill Trident Z 8x2 16GB // EVGA GTX 1080 Ti  // NZXT S320 Elite 

Late 2015 Build : Intel i7 6700k // Asus Maximus VI Gene Z170 //  Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Gigabyte GTX 970 // Corsair Air 240

it should be ok but i would go with a better one

Defaq? No. . . .

The V series is made my SeaSonic and has more than enough wattage for a 980 Ti >.<

It's fully modular, has excellent noise and ripple supression and can deliver it's rated power.

Great choice OP, stick with it.

he has a K series processor so he is probably gonna overclock

a high wattage one also enables future upgradability

650W is plenty. Without an OC that system will likely pull a max of 450W - More than enough headroom.

Оh, thanks for correcting me. Only saw the V and thought it was the SeaSonic one. Still a good PSU though.

Is this power supply good enough?

 

http://i.gyazo.com/b6e47c16baaf8a547ec03bf9e09825eb.png

 

My specs:

 

i5 4690k

 

evga gtx 980 

 

8 gb ddr3 ram

 

1 tb hdd

 

EDIT: Sorry it is a regular 980

it's totally fine. Anybody telling you you need more wattage does not understand power consumption...

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

This thing will hit like 320W under load with overclocks...
