OCZ 700W - Is it enough for GTX 780?

[Apocalypto]

Hi guys,

I am planning to get a GTX 780 3GB or the 6GB version, Does my Power Supply OCZ 70W enough, please?

My current specs are:

CPU: Core i7 3770K 3.50Ghz
RAM: 16GB Dominator 1600mhz
VGA - EVGA GTX 470 SC 1280MB
Monitor - Samsung P2350 23"
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
Storage: SSD Agility 3 - 120GB

Generally speaking, 700W is more than enough power for a single GTX 780. But what is the exact model (OCZ has had five different 700W units)?

I'm guessing it's been in use for several years now? I would recommend upgrading in any case. You have an expensive system, it deserves a better unit.

I had the OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W in my old system. Guess what caused my old system to die last summer? Yep, the PSU after 4 years. It was an awesome system, and I wouldn't have upgraded to my new system had the PSU not taken out everything. I had a i7 860, GTX 560 Ti, 2xSSD's, 2xHDD's, DVD Drive, and 4 case fans - which that PSU should've been more than sufficient. Thank GOD OCZ is out of business - I also had a Vertex SSD die on me, and plenty of friend's with dead OCZ SSD's as well.

Learned my lesson and upgraded to a quality PSU.

Thanks for your help, to be honest I removed the sticker and not sure which model, I bought this in 2007, but that website you gave me and from google images it is like this OCZ700SXS

If your PSU has been in operation for 7 years I'd definitely get a new one. Are you just gonna run is a single 780? If so, a good 550-600W unit will be just fine. I'm very happy with my Seasonic G-550, you can look into that. Is your 3770k OC'd?

Also, where will you be buying the new unit from? The US?
