Board is sold out btw

He never stated he was going to buy it...he just wanted some links to help him out...so I did that by leveraging the advantage I gained from using a motherboard that's priced very wrongly on Best Buy  (i.e. kinda cheating but oh well...)

EA450 is actually pretty solid for the price  but it can be bumped up with the remaining ~$10.

980 Ti uses 300W by itself - the rest of the system another 120W - that's pushing the poor thing HARD considering it likely has only 400W on the +12V rail

That tier list shouldn't be taken too seriously. Not inclusive enough and honestly, PSU's that are listed as tier 5 on it are still quality units. It's main value is as a quick reference for newbies.

500W please ._.

Not necessary. 450w is actually plenty for a 980 ti + i5. It will hit 400w at its max load.

Although that is true, we're talking about a 980ti which draws a relatively high amount of power while you trying to power it with a decent-ish PSU that's obviously not powerful enough...
