I'm looking at buying a GTX 980 in the next month. Wondering if I'd need a new power supply?

I think it is a 750W PSU - X-VIPER 80+ BRONZE - 85% Efficiency according to my website I bought my PC off.

These are my other specs if they're needed:
Intel Core i5-3570K
Gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard
8GB Ram
2TB hard drive and a 128GB SSD

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
 
It's a awful Powercool unit that should have been left on the shelf. I wish people would do their homework before buying components. The psu is not the place to save money. If you had bought a decent one in the first place then you wouldn't be asking this question now. I wouldn't risk that with even a budget pc.
 
no need if you plan on single card. but no real harm at that price either.

they share the same platform, so it's not like SF is better than EVGA or vice versa.
