970 SLI, 700W PSU enough?

[Mad_Klauss]

Hello!

I was wondering if a Chieftec 700w PSU would be enough for me to put my Gigabyte 970 in SLI some day.
The rest of my parts are as follows:

Asus, SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 2
Intel, Core i5-4690
Cooler Master, HYPER T4
Kingston, 8GB, DDR3, 1866MHz
Giga Byte, GeForce GTX 970, 4GB, GDDR5, WindForce 3X OC
Kingston, SSDNow V300, 120GB
Seagate, 2TB, 7200rpm, 64MB, Sata III, Barracuda

If it's this PSU No I would not even try to use it with one card.

You have a processor that can't be overclocked so why spend all the money on the motherboard put some of that into a power supply and get rid of that door stop.

Use this Power Supply Tier List for Tom's Hardware and choose a Tier#1 PSU any 520 or 550Watt PSU will be more than enough for a [strike]Sli [/strike] single GTX 970.

No I have this one: http://www.chieftec.eu/en/psus/smart-series/gps-700a8.html

I bought that motherboard because I would later upgrade the cpu. Had a shortage of money at the time but badly wanted a new pc (my old pc is 8 years old xP) so got the next best cpu.

A 520 or 550 would suffice for a single 970 - - you aren't going to be able to run a pair of them in SLI with that
