Graphics Card: Quad Overclocked Nvidia titan black
RAM: 64 Gb Kingston HyperX 1866 Mhz (8x8Gb) DDR3 RAM

Or should i choose 1300 Watts Power Supply?

 
Solution
Nope, the rest of the rig is is however 😀

Titan Black TDP = 250W

250Wx4=1000W

i7 4960X TDP = 130W

130W+1000W=1130W

1130W + OCing + watercooling (I assume you're doing that) + the rest of the system = probably over 1300W


Yes my rig is liquid cooled.
Which means i should purchase 1500 watts power supply am i right?
