Just wondering if my PSU would be good enough to support this card, especially with the rest of my system.

CPU: i5-4690k
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Pro3
RAM: 16GB 1600 DDR3
Storage: 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD
PSU: 750W OCZ
Case: Azza Solano 1000R
GPU: Radeon HD 7950 (Upgrading to GTX 980 Ti)



I believe this is the PSU I have:

OCZ is now technically owned by FirePower, but when I bought it, it was an OCZ PSU (and you can still see OCZ on the label in the pictures).

(Sorry if this should belong in another section, by the way).

Thanks!

Your PSU should be perfect. The 980ti pulls closely the same to a Titan X, (when overclocked) Which is near the r9 290x's power draw of around 250w-300w.
I'm running a 290 on a 600w PSU.
So purely wattage based in total you're fine.

Your 12v rail on that PSU is rated at 62a which is fine for the GTX 980ti.

So no problems ;)

-good luck

Great, thanks! I honestly know next to nothing about power supplies other than more watts are needed for higher end hardware. Thanks again!
