Is a Corsair CX750M PSU good enough for my pc?

[DGaming]

My specs are:

 

CPU - I7 4770 @ 4.3Ghz

Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth Z87

RAM - 16GB Kingston HyperX Beast 2400Mhz

GPU - Nvidia MSI 980ti 6GB Twin Frozr OC

Case - Corsair Obsidian 750D

Storage - Samsung 250GB SSD and 3x 1TB WD Caviar Black

PSU - Corsair CX750M

Display - Asus PG279Q ROG Swift 27" ISP 1440p @ 165Hz

Cooling - Corsair H80

Mouse - Logitech G9X

Operating System - Win 10 Pro

 

I have been informed that my PSU is not good enough to power the 980ti I have installed as I am getting crashes on games right now.

 

Can anyone confirm whether they would agree that I need a better PSU like a Corsair HXi Series HX1000i or am I fine with what I have and it must be something else causing the crashes?

 

Thank you in advance

Well mate... 750W is defenately enough for the 980ti, you only need more if you are doing SLI or crossfire (which you are not)--> so 750W is enough! But I would recommend you to get a better PSU overall, the Corsair CX is not recommended for super high end builds like yours, I would recommend the evga supernova .. its quite more expensive, but you want the PSU in a build to be good, because its the part that can destroy all of your parts (because it gives power to all parts in the system) ! You can still go with the CX, but its a lot safer and better to get the evga supernova Hope I helped

Think I am going to get a Seasonic Platinum 860 then. Good choice?

Do you plan on adding a 2nd GTX 980 ti in the future ? If not then go with the EVGA G2 650W. If you plan to SLI then go with the 850W version.

Yeah I think I may get another 980ti down the road, so the 850w is a good suggestion. Thanks, I think I might get that one now after all as it has some really good reviews and is £99 on Amazon

For £5 more you could have gotten the RMx series. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020093-UK-RM850X-Modular-Supply/dp/B015PWMT7O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448314204&sr=8-1&keywords=RMx850

Maybe if they were the same price then you could flip a coin to decide. The EVGA is a fantastic unit though, so there is no point spending an extra £5 to get the Corsar.

No argument there, I just thought the capacitors on the cables RMx is using is good enough to warrant the extra £5,

The EVGA has capacitors on the cables as well

Trust me, I understand.  I was just clarifying why you were asking.    And, the Seasonic is a good choice.

Hey dude I would just like to thank you for pointing me in the right direction. As soon as I swapped my shitty Corsair CX750w out for an EVGA G2 850w all my problems were solved.

 

Thank you to everyone one else that helped me to choose a more suitable PSU. Love you all!

 

What a great community this place is!
