Probably not. The CX is a relatively low end PSU so I wouldn't do that.

i'd upgrade your PSU before even thinking of watercooling.

Intel i5-6600K@4.2GHz, 16GB Crucial DDR4-2133, Gigabyte Z170X-UD3, Be quiet shadow rock slim, Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ OC, Fractal design Integra M 550W, NZXT S340, Sandisk X110 128GB, WD black 750GB, Seagate momentus 160GB, HGST 160GB

i would not trust a cx psu with a 980 thats overclocked and water cooling loop. before investing in a wc loop i would recommend you upgrade the psu before you put in a custom loop

The CPU probably consumes 150 Watts at load and the GPU does 300 watts at load. Again, upgrade your PSU, then ask for other help regarding your loop.

The CX 750 is actually based of a half decent psu so it doesn't count

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!

CX is for low end builds. What's above CX in Corsair's lineup? CS, RM, RMi, HX, HXi, AX, AXi. Yeah, CX is not high end at all.

750W can easily handle a single GPU loop.  Dual GPU probably but you'd be pushing it.  Pumps are only 20-30W which isn't much.  Fans are even less than that.

 

Was planning on putting 450W PSU (RM450) in my compute server.  Unfortunately I needed more SATA power plugs.  8 cores and a GP U and watercooling on 450W.  Yolo.

Workstation:  14700nonk || Asus Z790 ProArt Creator || MSI Gaming Trio 4090 Shunt || Crucial Pro Overclocking 32GB @ 5600 || Corsair AX1600i@240V || whole-house loop.

LANRig/GuestGamingBox: 9900nonK || Gigabyte Z390 Master || ASUS TUF 3090 650W shunt || Corsair SF600 || CPU+GPU watercooled 280 rad pull only || whole-house loop.

Server Router (Untangle): 13600k @ Stock || ASRock Z690 ITX || All 10Gbe || 2x8GB 3200 || PicoPSU 150W 24pin + AX1200i on CPU|| whole-house loop

Server Compute/Storage: 10850K @ 5.1Ghz || Gigabyte Z490 Ultra || EVGA FTW3 3090 1000W || LSI 9280i-24 port || 4TB Samsung 860 Evo, 5x10TB Seagate Enterprise Raid 6, 4x8TB Seagate Archive Backup ||  whole-house loop.

Post count isn't a metric of knowledge in a particular subject. I have 9.6K posts and I know very little (and don't care) about the specifics of audio.

 

Anyway on topic; a CX750 will do the trick- it's fine for a high end CPU single GPU system (I run a high end/high TDP single GPU on a 600 for my main PC) but in a lot of places you can get better PSUs like the 750G2 or similar for a decent price.
