450w am i now pushing it

[MasterOC]

Currently Using a Quality Superflower 450w gold PSU

, Will be jumping on board the latest and greatest once Volta/Turin Drops... whatever it maybe . Currently running a 1070 and am thinking maybe ill be pushing it once new cards drop . probs will push to 650w psu to give me headroom , but do we think a 450w will be capable of the load once I install the new card . see sig for specs

If it's Golden Green HX is has third tier capacitors in bad for their cooling place.
And if that PSU has seen some years of use wouldn't go pushing its limits.

If you're going to get some high end graphics card and overclock also that 550W is would definitely update at least to 550W.
Overclocking can increase power consumption very fast if you increase voltage.

2 years old atm , that’s weird Johnny gurus site has this as an overall 8.8 out of ten and explained all caps where of good quality ? Not a cheap unit concidering the wattage all though I’m sure there are better

450w is a lot for a system, even one that's overclocked. Unless you're running multi GPU's and loads of hard drives/peripherals, I think 450 is fine. Ideally you'd want to be running the PSU at 50-60% of it's capacity to get the best efficiency.

Kind of my reasoning for maybe pushing to a higher wattage unit was effiency , but I was also confident that it would be ample for a while , just unsure if a potential 250w tdp card would be playing it close .

Full confidence in super flower PSUs , also owning a 1200w platinum made me buy this psu over others .

Will see what the general concensus is , thanks for your inputs gents
