Power Supply help

[nickwhannan]

So I am upgrading to a I7-7700k and the system will consist of these components.
CPU- I7 7700k, Motherboard- MSI Z270Tomahawk, Ram- Corsair (2x8) ddr4 3000MHZ, GPU-EVGA gtx 970. So my question is right now I am using a Corsair CX 500 watt PSU. Do I need to upgrade to something better maybe like a Corsair Supernova 550 watt psu or is the cx 500 just fine? Any thoughts will be appreciated thanks!!

I would upgrade to a EVGA 550w GS , G2 or G3 power supply or a decent SEASONIC G 550W.

 

[nickwhannan]

ok how about a EVGA BQ 600w? or would the 550 ones be better?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

BQ is very poor , the 550 ones above are the good reliable ones.

 

[nickwhannan]

ok last question would you pick the seasonic or the EVGA 550 G2?

G2 Leadex Platform is amazing.
