Corsair 500w enough for this system?

[shaun88]

is Corsair CX500w enough power for this system?
i7 3770
GTX 980
ASRock H77 Pro4-M
Vengeance 8GB RAM (2x4GB)
1TB HDD
128GB SSD Samsung 840 Pro

I'm mainly concerned that would there be enough power for the GPU as its a high end GPU, I currently have this system, my GPU is Sapphire 7870, but wondered if I could upgrade it for the GTX 980 without having to upgrade the PSU as well

Yes but the cosair cx series isent very good i would recommend something off of tier 1 or 2 of this list i linked. And 550-650watts would be better so you have a little head room.

this is a good budget 550 watt xfx psu which will serve you well and not bust the budget http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QFwJwP

Yes, that PSU will be enough for your build. Just to comment on your build, I would go for the GTX 970 because the cost difference is not worth the performance increase. Also I think you should get the i7 3770k because it is unlocked so you can overclock and it has a faster stock clock speed. But if you already bought the CPU or you're not going to overclock, stick with the CPU you listed.
