Do I need a PSU upgrade ?

[Aeron]

So I got:

ASrock Z77 Extreme 4; i73770k; WDBlack1TB; ADATA120GB; GTX970G1Gaming; 2x4GB RAM running with a 630W Bronze PSU.

By checking the PSU requierements for when i'll go SLI the results differt from "PSU-calculator" to another. Some said the PSU will be even with OC enough some that a 700W is a must have. Not to mention some wanted to make me buy a 800+ PSU -.-' So well will 630W 80 bronze be enough or better go for ~700?

630W is more than enough and a bronze rating means next to nothing. What is the make and model of the PSU?

be quiet! Pure Power CM L8 630W ATX23 Is the exact selling name.

630W is enough for i7 + 970 SLI + mild overclocking

that is... if your PSU is a VERY reliable one

 

i suggest getting this for your build if your psu is a sketchy one

as I said, I got the " be quiet! Pure Power CM L8 630W ATX23 ". Interesting thing is, the PSU that you are recomending is nearly the same price as my actual.

your psu belongs to Tier 3

Spoiler

Tier Three

Some Haswell compatible, some not (maybe unconfirmed). Still safe to use and stable, just lower quality components. Not really ideal in serious overclocking or super-high load situations, such as a Bitcoin mining rig or a high end gaming system.

take that however you wish, but i wouldn't bet on it because when a psu die, it might take out your other components (like the cpu or gpus)
