Should I buy a new power supply too?

Asked By Aabel Maverick 30 points N/A Posted on - 02/17/2015

I want to upgrade my GPU from the current GTX 760 2GB to a GTX 980 but I have no idea on whether I should buy a new power supply as well. The other computer parts are an MSI motherboard, 1TB HDD, DVD-RW, 8 GB RAM DDR3, 2 120 mm fans and a core 15-4670k CPU. Will I run into compatibility issues with the power supply? Anyone with a solution or a new way of handling this please advise me

If you do not have any problem with your current GPU GTX 760 2GB, new power supply is note required as the Minimum System Power Requirement is the same as GTX 980. In addition, the power consumption should be reduced as the Graphics Card Power reduced from 170W to 165W according to the specification.
