My Rig: i5 4960s, EVGA 750 ftw, cooler master seidon 12v cpu cooler, z87-g41 Mobo, 8gb 1600Mgz ram, 2 HDD of 1TB each , 2 optical units, 3 case fans... The 650watts is enough power??

http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp use that to calculate your average usage. Don't take it to heart either, I'm assuming you'd need a 750 to make that setup work flawlessly specially if you are willing to OC.

What Zachary said. 650 watts is more than enough power to run that card and a bunch of HDDs, disc drives, and peripherals. You picked a great card, too. Not too loud or hot, plays today's games with maxed out settings at a consign at 60 fps or higher and I've had no driver issues to date. Happy gaming.

Not really, although you might be just fine and probably safe, but you will be pushing limits. It all depends on what you are doing, for how long, and the quality of your PSU. The requirements listed on the box are 750 watts (or more) with one 150 watt 8 pin pcie power connector and one 75 watt 6 pin pcie power connector.

Yes, and to be shure check this power calculator http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/index.jsp for your whole system power consumption.

Hi. I wouldn't try it with less than 500W. Obviously it doesn't consume that much, but if you're thinking of upgrading to this card, you probably have a couple hard drives, a higher-performance CPU and so on, and would need that much for other reasons. I had a 400W PS that was unable to power my system a few years ago, resulting in BSODs and random freezes, so I changed that out for my current 600W supply, which does just fine. I have an 8-core CPU, this video card, an SSD and four hard drives. I just had a look at EVGA's specsheet about this, and it says minimum 350W PS. I would imagine that is in a minimal system with nothing else hooked up. If you have any plans to upgrade anything in the future, being stuck with a tiny power supply will limit your options. I'd say start your search at 500W and if you find a good manufacturer of a more powerful one that's reasonably priced, get it.

I run a thermal take 650 watt psu and I have no issues with power consumption

The TDP of the card is advertised as 150W, although it should be a little lower considering it can still be overclocked within it's physical power input restrictions (75W through pci-E slot + 75W from the 6-pin connector). But yeah, 150W is a safe estimate. As to the wattage required to run a system (i.e. power supply requirement) people will throw random numbers at you like 500W PSU or better, but the truth is that it all depends on the hardware you are running. I suggest you do some google search for a power calculator and do your own math and see what kind of PSU you're going to need.

Most of the processors for this board are only 75 Watts so I just went with the heat sink that came with the processor. Under typical usage, my whole system only uses about 50 W of power so the processor is obviously drawing less than that. Unless you are significantly overclocking, you probably don't need more than what comes with most processors.

Easily. I'm currently running a Black Edition Z97 Gigabyte, 4790K, and NVidia GTX&50 Ti and the cooling fan doesn't even come on most times. You'll have power to spare (what you've listed is under 500 w).

Sure, I run it on a 600watt no problem, it doen't support pci power, just the pci express conection. Not the best for gaming, decent for designing

I have a 650W power supply (Note: The power supply is at a 80+ Gold rating) and a FX8350, I am typing this on that very machine.I would be very surprised to see you being unable to power it with a 650W power supply, provided you don't stick in 20 different auxiliary components.

That depends on what else you have in your system - how many and what type of hard drives, how much RAM, fans/coolers etc. In general, these days I would lean towards 1000W power supply as 750W is cutting it close. Just your video card will consume anywhere from 250-300W under max load. My system is xeon based, and xeon CPUs take less power, and I also have an older, less power hungry video card, and I have 1000W Power supply. ps. This is not a "GPU" but "PSU".

I suspect so but I am using a 430 watt PSU. Go to pcpartpicker.com and enter your components such as graphics card, motherboard and hard drive. Enter any component that consumes power. It will then indicate how many watts your system will use.

The card calls for 550watt power supply minimum on the box. I run a Corsair TX650 to power it and my hardware with a i5-3570k CPU. I think a 750watt would work well if you want at least that. :)

400 would be pushing it. I have a 600w and it does fine. I would say the minimum would be 500w but it really depends on your total power consumption system wide.

That's more then enough, you will have about 100w extra, just be aware any additional hardware besides your build will tax your psu more for future upgrades.if you have any other questions iam more then happy to help a fellow comp builder

Yes. It should be fine. You have a PCI express X 16 slot and unless you've beaten the crap out of the computer or you already have a bunch of attachments your PSU should still have enough juice to power it?
