5820k with gtx 970 power usage

[MItch_B]

I am buying a 5820k that I will be using for streaming and gaming. I have a gtx 970 that I plan on putting in the build. Will a 650 watt power supply suffice for overclocking a 5820k to 4.4 ghz?

easily, that is more than enough wattage if you have a good unit


a good 550w is ideal

I myself own a 970 and 5820k and under full gaming load it uses upwards of 400w and under full stress test sometimes over 550w. This is with the cpu at 4.5Ghz 1.3v and the GPU at about 1504mhz.
