Power usage of the GTX 970 and 980

[McGlone]

I currently have an AsRock Z170 Pro with an Intel i5 6600K and GTX 750 ti running on a 750w PSU.
I was wondering if either the GTX 970 or 980 would be able to run with that wattage or if I'll have to get a higher one.
If, for example, I'll need a higher psu for only the 980 I'll just buy the 970.

Thanks in advance

What brand is your PSU? If its a good manufactured 80+ certified PSU then you have enough power there to run 2 of either of those cards. If its a nomark unbranded none certified PSU then advice would be to search out a quality branded unit.

any tier 1 or 2 psu can handle a 980ti specially if its 750w
whats the brand and the model...
im sensing its corsair cx 750w if so id jst go with the 970 and with the spare cash id get a good tier 1 or a tier 2 psu

The exact one is this

I'm leaning more towards the 980 or even 980 TI just for future proofing really (probably a stupid idea) and the fact i'd prefer to take advantage of my 4K tv. Although not sure that would justify the £500~+ price tag.

Also I'll be needing one that isn't insanely long as I don't have a full tower. The tower i have is left over from this

I reckon that PSU can run a 980Ti.

you don't need a "higher" PSU, but I would highly consider going for a better one.

Here---> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017 , $89.99 today, you can't beat that. If you can afford it, your current PSU can run it but I will really, really consider upgrading sometime down the road if you indeed get the 980 or 970 for that matter.

yeah a better quality one actually
