Spec PSU 6600 980ti

Will have a 6600k and already have a 980TI. What would be the best PSU for this?

Have a 650watt atm but it's a competitor brand and it's super loud under load(has shut down my PC once or twice)

I was planning on upgrading anyway but may aswell do it now when my new motherboard and CPU come.

Prefer it to be as quiet as possible and not too expensive. Budget 80?

Thanks.

Edit- I will be overclocking.

Power calculators are stating 650w under load with all peripherals and my overclocks? So i'm looking for a decent 700W PSU?

A solid 550W will be fine.

EVGA GS/G2 or Superflower Leadex etc are solid.

That's great - Shall I ignore the estimated 650W powerdraw? Kinda worried now!

Yes, I am 100% confident a 550W from a quality brand with good internals will be ample.

Excellent, you saved me some money thanks a lot! Will go for the EVGA Supernova 550 Gold

Stulid is right. A good quality 550W unit will happily power a 980Ti.

I was using one of these to power a 980Ti and 4670K OC'd to 4.2GHz. When I transferred my hardware to my new case, I upgraded the PSU to a 750W model. Kinda silly really, as 750W is overkill for a single-GPU setup and insufficient for SLI.

Hey the psu I have right now is NZXT HALE82N 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Worth getting the better brand?
