    500w is more than enough for an overclocked 980ti and an overclocked i7 - here's a system with a 4770K @ 4.4GHz http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphi...force/?page=11

    The only reason anyone would need anything bigger is if they wanted to run dual graphics

    Or they require whisper quiet. If the fan only starts getting serious at half load, then you need to buy twice the PSU you really need. Hence I have a 650W psu.

    That's a fancy price from a good manufacturer with some pretty decent results. Can never have too much spare W!

    I generally go overboard on the PSU but on a recent budget build I went 430W EVGA (35quid) would consider this next time!

    I've "cheaped out" on a PSU once, never, ever, ever again!
