In the PSU item it shows 300 or 500 and to be honest with a 980Ti I would want a 600 PSU, which is why I mention might need a PSU upgrade - the mobo itself doesn't care, the GPU pops into the PCI-E slot and is primarily powered by the PSU thru the PCI-E power cables

That's what I was thinking, the motherboard doesnt care but that site I show you , make me wondering... Because in the CB model it have same 500 w psu like i have OR the psu is not the same but better and still 500w... Its the way they explain things, there 's a huge lack of information ... I know i need at least a 600 w psu , i looked on Nvidia website. I 'll need also 6 pin and 8 pin connector and right now i have 2 x 6 pin , it's enough for the standard gtx 980. If I buy a transition connect from 6 to 8 pin and run 980 ti on my 500w with transition conector, what will happen? Will it works..?

I updated my last comment, can you answer that? last question for you: does the pci express connector on my MOtherboard need something special to run the TI ? Its a 3.0 pci-e (i run gtx 960) right now but i know there is other thing to take in consideration.. Like the speed of date transfer i think im not sure... ?
