PSu for GTX 970 · DIGIT-ARC

Hello Guys,
I am thinking of upgrading to a GTX 970, either from ASUS OR MSI. Need a suggestion for PSU. I have a FSP SAGA II 500W PSU will it be sufficient? I will not be overclocking the card.

EDIT: I will not be going for SLI, dropped the plan.

Errr.. FSP SAGA II is a good PSU and it was highly recommend for budget PC's here in DIGIT.

And its not a local company.

Not in my opinion seasonic should be the one because it is one time investment and why take chance

I think it should be sufficient if you are not going to overclock.

What other peripherals do you have?

yup u definetly need more than 500 watts........it will be at margin............

Seasonic S12II 620W or else 520W. 620W for the safe side.

How about if I think about getting a SLI setup in future?

TX/RM 750 is what you should go with then

Ok let me get this straight, you are going to use both hd6850 & GTX970 ?

I say 600W should be minimum. Preferably 750 (since you said about sli)

no. I would keep the 6850 as backup and 2x GTX 970 in future if required.

I hear that RM series is not that good.

I think you should get at least 600W.

Seasonic S12II 620 is the best bet

How is the A.S.S?

how much can you spend for psu?

I Can spend 6-8K if I am really required to buy new PSU.

Since you are considering sli, seasonic M12 ii 750/850 falls under your,budget. 750 w is more than sufficient though.
Regarding A.S.S, I don't really have much idea. I think tirupathi handles rma of seasonic. Anyway seasonic does not compromise on quality.

I have dropped the idea for going for SLI as it is a overkill for my requirement.

Then choose seasonic s12g 650.

Any Modular PSU recommendations?

Seasonic x650.
