600W PSU for GTX 970 and i5 3330?

[gyonforce]

Hi guys! Look i have a Topower Ultimate 600w PSU (yes, no one knows that) this had works perfectly since december 2012 with my XFX 7870 and my i5 3330, i have to clarify that i live in a place where the centigrades rounds around 45ºC and i never had a problem so i ask if my PSU would sopport my i5 3330 and a GTX 970

There's a photo about the description of my PSU

Most people would suggest a 550W PSU for a GTX 970 plus the rest of the rig. You probably won't come close to using that though.

So for you my PSU would work without problems?

If you don't intend on overclocking any components it should do fine.

The 600W is absolutely fine and no need to upgrade even with a little OC.

600W is more than enough for OC. However, I'm more concerned about the quality of the PSU when it comes to overclocking, rather than the maximum wattage it can deliver.

The quality of that power supply is poor.

I know that, it's shitty

No, my pretention is not todo OC, thanks for the info man

It's not the greatest quality , but has the specs to run a 970.

You can get a Rosewill Capstone 750W for $40 right now: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-capstone750

Blackbird, are these the ones whose OEM is Super Flower? Or are those the 750Ms? I'm pretty sure its these.

gyonforce if you didn't know, Super Flower = good.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes it is , it's the one I've been linking for a few days , but based on the PSU he has he's not in the US or Canada.

Looks like Argentina. 750W Gold efficiency from Super Flower at $40 is a killer deal. Most PSUs with those specs sell for 3x more.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes I ordered 2 to keep aside for builds.

Im argentinian so i couldn't do that, it would costs me a lot and newegg doesn't ship to my country, but if you said to me it's okay i trust you, beside this in other forum's is the same answers so i'm thanksfully of your opinion and time.

Looks like all the Capstones are by Super Flower, but the 750M is the modular version.

Nah, your English is okay. The Topower PSU links were all Argentinian sites, so I assumed you were from Argentina as well.

look bro all i can say is that for a build like that especially the gtx970 you would definitely need 700w or possibly even 750w
you will need a high wattage power supply if u want your pc to last as well. dont get me started on the gtx 970 its an awesome gpu but it is extremely power hungry so id feed it well if i were u and id invest into a 700-750 watt power supply Oh and dont forget to go for 80plus certification

here are some recommendations:

I would upgrade to run a good card like the 970.

I wouldn't trust my card to a no name PSU.

I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes harder. Blackbird, can you delete this nonsense, please?

Completely agree. But we aren't familiar (I'm not familiar) with what PSU brands there are in Argentina so you'll have to look around.

This image helps a bit to know if my PSU would support?

In fact i agree, it's a risk, one problem and goodbye your money

I'm having kind of the same asking. About the gtx 970 g1 gaming. I'm about to buy one in a month maybe and I'm not sure about my PSU does it gonna handle it. It's a Be Quiet Pure Power L8 630W.
