Will 450W be enough for this system? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cWBvCJ

 

[laviniuc]

if it's a good quality one sure (antec, seasonic, evga, xfx) safer somewhere around 500-600W

edit: also the case can fit microatx boards, no reason to constrain yourself to miniITX
edit2: whichever psu you get it needs to have at least one pciex 8pin connector and a 6 pin connector.

no it will not I would recommend a 650w psu

If it is a quality PSU, but as others stated, a 650w would be better

It would have to be a really good 450w unit. 500 would be the smallest I would use. 550w would plenty. 650w is almost pointless way more than needed for a single 970, I have seen people running 2 970s on 650w psus, but I usually reccomend 750w.

i have delt with several pc that wont run the 970 with a 550w psu do to other parts in the pc and the lack of quality, 450w just wont cut it, if you go for a 500w you will likely need a 80+ gold certified or better.

Can you recommend one?

 

[bignastyid]

The 550w xfx is a good budget option and will have no issues powering the system. Full load on that rig will be just under 300w, with decent ocs on the cpu and gpu would bring it closer to 350w.
