I wouldn't risk it. 550w-650w is better.

I recommend getting at least 500 watts for now if you aren't planning to upgrade anything, just to be safe. But if you are planning to overclock or upgrade, such as adding a new GPU, you should get about 750 watts.

I'm looking to oc the card

Edit: I might get a 970 g1 instead is this okay?

AT LEAST a 600W Gold (or better)

750W would be your best bet

600-750w gold rated PSUs are generally the better options.

People saying 600-750W for a single GTX 980 are way off the mark. 750W is overkill.

 

For overclocking, 450W is a bit less than you'd generally want. 500-550W would be sufficient.

Yes, 450W with that PSU is totally fine. Two GTX 980s with no overclocks would be pushing that but one should be completely fine.

Yes, but don't go crazy with watercooled overclocks.
