250W+84W+(fans,harddrives,..) ~ 350W absolutely max. system power draw, now that is like ~60% of what that psu can handle, so efficiency is about 84%. now divide 350W by 0.84. = 416W - that is how I roughly calculate my shit

 

edit: if you know how much ampere your gpu needs, than you can multiply it by 12V and if it is well under 408W then you're fine, too.

 

edit#2: 408W is Combined Power on the 12V rail of your psu incase you are wondering.

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

My Card use 320w (yes only the card) under load. Also the Lifetime of a PSU is greatly increased if you are ~30% above your total System needs. I would not go with 500w PSU.

Well, as stated before, you can keep your powersupply, however I would not recommend to OC edit: because power draw of that gtx980ti would increase dramatically and might cause crashes in heavy gpu load scenarios.

 

edit#2: As for non-OC it would heave plenty headroom (~20%) in the very heaviest load cases.

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

Depends. With a Reference Card you should be fine. 

How limited is your Budged?

I wouldn't . CM B-series are budget-grade ones that should not be trusted with high-end components. For a 960/380 they are fine but above that it's looking sketch

80+ means nothing but that it's 80% efficient That one is a cheap unit, with chinese caps, rated at 25-30*C (40*C on the B-series) and cannot properly control it's voltage.

Please don't grab a $650 video card and run it off of a $30 power supply.  :(

It's 48.78$.. not 30$ :P if it helps xD

Then what PSU should i get?! that is around that price point... or little bitter like 30$.. or 20$...

EDIT: Ideal PSU for "cheap" would be this though I think I'd be too much for you (?)

That's as low as I'd recommend going so he either goes for a cheaper GPU or splurges on that
