Nothing is really future proof, and yeah, that PSU is overkill for a single GPU, but it won't really hurt anything to use it, if that's what you are asking.

Do u think that i should buy a second gpu when games require more power or should i upgrade to a better single gpu

and which psu would u recommend for single gpu

I think going with the best single card solution you can afford is usually a lot better way to go. Dual GPUs have a lot of appeal and I have run them myself, but there are too many problems with them to list here. When it works, it can be really cool. All the rest of the time, it is a pain in the behind. I'd probably get something in the 600W range for a single GPU, which is still actually overkill except with the highest-end single GPU. I'll look for a recommendation and post it later if you like.

Right at this moment I would probably get a Seasonic M12II 620W, unless you need to spend more I think it is up to the task.

What do u think about these 2:

Seasonic PowerSupply (PSU) G-550 550W

Cooler Master PowerSupply (PSU) V550S 550W

and will 550w be enough for future gnu upgrades

or is the one u mentioned a better option

Wow, heck of a deal there. I'm tempted to get one myself for a spare.


Cmt95, if you're set on sli in the future, just get the evga 750w or something equivalent. The best option IMHO right now if you're gaming at 1080p resolution is a single 970 in price/performance and SLI 970s I think edge out a solo 980 for the same reason.
