Is the CXM series safe?

[franches]

Hey lads,

I would like to know if the CX (Grey Coloured one) is safe for my rig.
For reference, my card will be a GTX 1070 FTW CPU wise I'll have an i7 - 7700 NON K and a Gigabyte b250HD3P. No overclocking whatsoever. So, will it be enough to power it? and is it safe? I own the CX750 in my current rig and I have had no problems whatsoever with it.

The CX 750 series are not very good but does have safety protection.
If you can I would replace it with better quality if not then use it.
The CXm 450, 550, and 650 use the new design and are better quality.

Yes, I'm saying however if the CXm550 will be enough to support an 7700 and FTW 1070

Yes. GPUs need less power than past generations (550 is enough) and the CXM is a good budget series now that they use a more modern platform,

65 watt processor, 215 watt video card about 80 for everything else.
Should be just fine.

I would not spend the extra money on the FTW series but that is your choice.

Alright thanks, and I dont need to worry about the connectors? I mean the FTW 1070 requiers 2x8 Pin connectors. I believe the CXM has two 6+2 pin connectors. So I have no problem right?

Also, now that Im here (and dont want to create a new thread xD) would I be able to know if this build is 100% compatible

Yes it has the right connectors.

Alright thanks for everything, I considered the S12II 620w but it was overkill and turned out to be over my budget :/
