Hello guys i got a question.
I ordered a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming. Im not sure if my Thermaltalke Hamburg 530W is enough to make sure that the GPU has enough Power. I dont want to Overclock the GPU yet. The other question is if my PSU has enough capability to run in 2x 8-pin mode because the gigabyte requires 2x 8-pin. I am sorry if this sounds noobish at all but i am not a pro in that topic.
To my System:
AsRock Fatal1ty B85 Killer
Crucial Balistix Sport 2x 8GB Cl9
Intel Xeon E3 1231v3
Thermaltalk Hamburg 530w 80+
Crucial mx 100 128gb
1TB Seagate Desktop
Rajintek Aidos Black cpu tower cooler.

My other question is as i read in other topics, if my cpu is limiting the GPU. People telling that it would be fine with my Xeon but i want to ask you Professionals.

Thank you guys.
 
How old is your PSU? because a PSU's output degrades over time. Also yours is not a high quality PSU so its output might be even lower than stated. You want to have at least a Tier#1 very good quality 600W or a Tier#2 800W PSU for the 980Ti.
