It will work. It's the PSU you need to worry about. Also why GTX 970 when RX 480 is around corner?

GPU will be compatible with every normal consumer board. You should wait for the RX 480 to come out in 3 days(29th) instead of getting a 970. The RX 480 will be 200$ for the perfomance equal to or above a 980. What powersupply are you using? I don't imagine it wouldn't handle a RX 480 but better to check.

It's unlikely you'll ever break 550w with overclocking included. 750 is perfectly fine! Originally Posted by chrykoolaid

Yep you should be good to go then, just wait for the RX 480 to come out and grab one of those! ^^ Originally Posted by chrykoolaid
