New vid card & power supply

[ThatGoonGuy]

Im getting a gtx 970 4gb and i have a 500 WATT but i think i can stick with that because that what the site said ( min 500 watt power supply ) but if anyone knows what power supply i can get for like under 100$ please link it for me !!!
also make sure it has enuf spots for the vid card. i myself dont even know how many ports it will need to have (Power Supp)

What brand and model PSU do you have now?

 

[ThatGoonGuy]

corsair cx500

Since you already have it. It will pull it off.

 

[ThatGoonGuy]

so my power supp that i have now will do for gtx 970?

Yeah, but I wouldnt try to overclock it.

Also, what other parts do u have?

500w should be fine i have sli 980s and my system doesnt use much over 700w when on full load. the 970 has a 450w required psu, depends on what other components you have.

It's superclocked ...

That PSU will be fine overclock or otherwise.

That doesn't make a very large difference in consumption.

Most 'superclocked' cards from the factory are a pretty mild overclock.
