So i got it yesterday and hooked it up today and im not sure if i connected the cables from the card to the PSU correctly but everything is working fine except that im not getting as good of a performance as i should get judging by other peoples videos and benchmarks. My specs are
I7 3770K, ASUS GTX 980 STRIX, 8gb of kingston hyperX, PSU is chieftec CFT 650 14CS, and motherboard is Asus P8Z77-V LX
 


Yes im going to get one in a few days but i dont know exactly what to get.......Well i should be getting alot better
 


Thats what my friend said but i asked around on here aswell and this one guy said i wont have a problem with this PSU but i have been thinking about getting a Cooler master v850. Are those good ? I have alot of money to spend
 


Maybe you should send back your 980 and get a 980 ti if you have a lot of money that you want to spend. lol
 


Cant just send it back and i would have gotten the 980 TI but bought the card before it was released in Finland
 


And its like 900 €
 
I suggest you go with Either the Corsair 860i or the SeaSonic Platinum-1000 if you don't mind spending the money.
You can always add another 980 if you want if you get more wattage...


I have a AX 860i and I really like it,
 



And you are sure it has to do with the PSU ? because i should be getting around 60fps maxed on Crysis 3 but im only getting 30
 
may as well go evga g2 with a 10 year warrantee top quality build platform .. or there new v1 [same seasonis km3 ]

the g2 for a $139 after rebate ?? you anit touching that deal for the quality

dude look at all the threads with the 900 cards and low performance issues reported - seems like a common thing

and those benches you check things on were the same old z77 and ive chips ??
