Hi there, I want to buy a new GPU and, as the new Nvidia range has just come out, I was looking at the 980. I've done some research into this but wanted to make sure putting this card into my PC wouldn't damage anything. I have an 800 watt power supply and a GTX 660 at the moment (specs will be below), and I'm planning to upgrade everything over the course of a year (including power supply). Thanks in advance.

PC Specs:
i5 3570k (oc'd to 4ghz)
MSI Twin frozr GTX 660
EZCool 800W PS-1000 PSU (Link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/EZCool-PS-1000-Infinity-Crossfire-Supply/dp/B00871T7JE)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO heatsink
Cooler Master HAF 912+
 


Just a heads up though, as far as I can tell, that PSU is pretty low quality. If you were okay with the 660 you should be okay with the 980 (since it doesn't use much power), but that PSU could implode at any time. I'd buy a new one ASAP.

If you want, I can link you one within your pricerange.
