I have an old prebuilt from a couple years ago and I have just recently upgraded my gaming PC from a gtx 970 to a 1070.  I would like to make the prebuilt a rocket league pc so that I can play from my couch, and I was wondering if I would be able to just stick in the 970 with the old psu and have enough power.  The prebuilt has an i5 4570 and 12 GB of ram, and the psu is 430W. Pcpp says it will only take about 350W, but I feel safer checking with you guys before trying anything. Thanks!

GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 1070,  CPU: i5-6600k OC to 4.0 GHz,  PSU: Rosewill Capstone G750 750W,  Mobo: MSI Z170A Krait Gaming,  Case: NZXT H440 White,  Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8),  HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB, Mouse: Razer Ouroboros,  Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Chroma, Mousepad: Razer Overwatch KB+M pad, Headset: Corsair Void RGB,  Monitor: 1x ASUS PB277Q 27" 1440p & 1x HP Pavilion 25cw 25-inch 1080p

He never said it takes 500w, he is saying a system with a 1070 will take more than 500w. As in everything added together. It's obvious a 1070 does not take 500w by itself..

Read his post again and look at my graph it should not use more than 500 for whole system
