Antec 550W PSU good for a 980 TI?

[Daniel_418]

So - I just found this pretty much amazing deal of a 980 TI for just 265€. Doesn't seem shady at all - just an odd price. Going to look at it in a couple of days, and probably buy it. Now here come's the problem, I was originally going to get a GTX 1050 TI, to which I would have had absolutely no problem running it on my Power Supply - to which I assume is an Antec EA550W (Can't identify it as anything else - nor is there proper branding on it) so I was wondering, is it possible (with my specs down below) to run a 980 TI on this Power Supply? I also don't plan to overclock. Thanks - all help appreciated.

I think you will need a new PSU. The 980ti is a good card, but does use a lot of power. I am not a fan of the Antec unit as it is a tier 4 PSU. I suggest getting a quality PSU from EVGA, Corsair, or Seasonic.

I see. Would a 6GB 1060 be good on this PSU? found it for about the same price.

And - I honestly don't trust those "tier" lists - plus that goes down to tier 7 so it can't be that bad either way.
