Hi guys I need some help. I was wondering what power supply I would need for this setup:
Gtx 980ti
i7 4770k@3.5ghz
128gb ssd
2tb hdd
16gb team elite ram
Msi z87 g41 motherboard
Thx in advance
 
A good quality 650w unit would be ideal I'd you plan to overclock the CPU and gpu. Or if you plan to sli in the future, 850w is what you want to look at.

I'd recommend anything from EVGA, Superflower, XFX, Seasonic.
 
If u got the money buy a 80Plus Gold or Platinum psu and don't cheap out, but the models xela333 suggues will be fine units and also some Corsair's.
 
If you are not planning on going SLI in the future, a quality 550W will be plenty including ambient overclocking on both the CPU and GPU (assuming no bios mods on GPU). Your CPU is 88W, and the GPU is 250W. Give another 50W for the rest of the parts, and we barely see 400W. Since the 980ti has a power limit of around 10-20%, that means it CAN'T pull more than 300W. So as a WORST CASE with overclocking, you are looking at 475W. Note, that is with BOTH things running at 100% (which only happens during stress testing). Gaming will be a lot less than that (~400W).

Bet anything over 600-700 watts be fine.

can you help ? have the coolermaster G550M +bronze can i use it until i take a 650 w +gold psu the card is evga 980 ti so+ backplate with skylake cpu i5 and i dont OC is it a risk? this is the link for the psu http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/gm-series/g550m/
 
Earth dog and xela are both correct, any solid 550w unit will do including the one you already own
 
yeah man seen this i was afraid of the quality of my psu i know that with a +gold 550 you are ok but mine is +bronze
Gold, Bronze, Silver, etc. are just about the efficiency, it doesn't mean the PSU provides less Watt's. What is important, is that the PSU has enough wattage and is of good quality.
