[SOLVED] How much power will gtx 1070 draw?

[struka]

Hello all,

This may be very unnecessary question but will a 3 year old corsair VS 650 run a GTX 1070, for like 3 more years safely? I got also an i5 7500 at 3.8 ghz and will probably do some oc to the 1070 too. I now have a gtx 1050 ti oc and the i5 7500 and it all runs great and the psu is cool. What would you do in this case, the last thing i want to do is that the psu breaks the PC you know. But am I just worrying for no reason?

Thank you all!

The VS is a low quality unit with basic safety features. I wouldn’t use it in a gaming pc when new. If it fails it could damage other components.

Yeah so I need a PSU too. Any recommendations? I found a corsair CX 650M Gray unit 80+ bronze for 90€, is it a good one?

No not really if you want a good GPU you need a good PSU as a backbone of it

Evga g2/g3
Seasonic focus/prime
I would recommend an EVGA SuperNova Gold G2 / or new G3 /GS / GQ, Platinum P2 / PS, or Titanium T2 or a Seasonic M12-II Evo or S12-II
GOOD PSU EVGA is a B2, G2, G3, P2, GS, PS, or T2. Avoid the EVGA B1 and G1 series/ I bought a EVGA G3 with 7year garentee
