It can run the card , but is not the greatest PSU in terms of quality.

Either most anything by EVGA, or the Cooler Master V series.

thanks so much would you recommend the 970 or 390? i know some people will swar to go with amd or nvidia for some weird reasons but whats your opinion?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I own the 970 , great card , but I would go with the 8gb 390.

 

[aposnowq]

cant see that xfx one on scan is that alright? https://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-xfx-p1-650s-nlb9-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx

 

[weberdarren97]

Not a bad option

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes it's an older model , but still very good quality.

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's a decent power supply made by FSP , will do fine.
