Is my PSU adequate for a GTX 1070?

I'm thinking about upgrading to the NVIDIA GTX 1070. I was wondering if my PSU (http://imgur.com/a/BSaUJ) is adequate for this card: http://tinyurl.com/h3f29w5

Yeah I'd say you're good. A lot of people are real sticklers for PSU quality, but life expectancy aside, you have 850w output and 80 bronze certification.

Yes it'll run.

Yeah unless Dell really screwed something up with that thing you should be perfectly fine. Check if you have the necessary PCIe cable for the 1070. Should be an 8-pin cable. If you don't you can always use a converter cable (just make sure it's not some cheap crap, make sure it is 18 gauge or lower).

Thanks for the reply! I'm currently using a GTX 780. Will the cables I use for that be fine?

Yep same ones. If you're using a 780 you are 100% fine. The 1070 uses way less power.
