Fortron Raider S PSU 650W good enough for GTX 970 ?

[CROcodile20]

My specifications will be :

PSU : Fortron Raider S PSU 650W,80+ SILVER (http://www.fsp-europe.com/raider650.php)

CPU : i5-4690K 3.50Ghz
MBO: AsRock Z97 extreme4
ram : 8 gb
GPU : MSI GTX 970 Gaming

I know that this PSU can handle GTX 970, but I want to know will it be good enough for a high-end
graphics card like a GTX 970 ? or should i buy another better brand PSU...

That is a great quality PSU and will have no problem powering your system with a GTX 970.

- Thank you Jim, I`ll go with Fortron then. I see you have the motherboard I want to buy (Asrock Z97 Extreme4) . Can you tell me, are you satisfied with it, did you have any problems with it and would you reccomend it ? I ask you because someone else told me that AsRock motherboards are not reliable/good as Asus or Gigabyte...

Answered your PM, but yes, I do recommend this motherboard.
