What do you need to make this psu output 1700 watt?

You would have to upgrade your breaker and change the outlet powering the device from assuming 15 amp max to 30 amp max. Also the power supply doesn't constantly put out 1600w. The ammount of watts the power supply will put out will depend on the load you have on it. An example would be an Intel Xeon E5-2697v2, 4x GTX 780ti, 8 DDR3 Ram modules, and 6 sata hdds will draw an estimate of 1200w on full load.

AMD 8150Asus Direct CU ii radeon HD 6970 (soon X2)And planning on 360mm, 280mm, and 140mm radeators so I need big pumps and tunz of fanz..... Also my logic..... Buy the biggest so you have huge room for expansion

Realistically you can't because a standard wall outlet will only support 1600 watt max.

That's more than enough watts. It should work with your power supply too. However, I would check any specifics on both manufacturers websites.

Assuming you have the rest of the computer at similar quality I would look at a 750 to 800 watt supply

Use a PSU calculator to determine necessary wattage. (http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp)

Can't say 100% but I'm using a 550w PSU with an i5 2200 and everything's fine. A 500w would be plenty.

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

The GTX 970 wants at least a 500W PSU, but I've never had it draw that much power, You should be fine, but you might want to be on the safe side and go up to the 500W

it's 65watts, so it all depends what else you are running. I'd suggest to use a power supply calculator online to figure it out.

You will need about 150 watts of power and a spare 6-pin PCIe power connector on your PSU. It looks like you're using a Corsair 80+ 430 watt PSU, so it should cover these.It all depends what other components you have in your system. It looks like you could with something like an Intel Core i3 or an AMD FX-4300, with a fair amount of buffer.A good place to get an estimate of how much power your PC needs would be PC Part Picker (just google it).

Hmm... I think a 500W PSU would be ok, but are you overclocking the CPU? If so, then I would recommend checking the necessary wattage for the GPU. I'm using a 750W PSU, but I think other people have used less. I would research this further since I'm not 100% sure 500W would suffice. I'm sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.

I am using a 650wattt power supply. The card needs a power source other than the mainboard.

Personally, I like to have a little more than required so i would go with an 850W PSU, so to answer your question, yes this one will work fine. You could also use a 750W PSU as well though.

I don't know what your entire system power requirements, but unless you have a ton of extra equipment running you should be fine with 750 watts. I'm running that gpu with a 650 Watt power supply and have zero problems.

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

That's more then enough, you will have about 100w extra, just be aware any additional hardware besides your build will tax your psu more for future upgrades.if you have any other questions iam more then happy to help a fellow comp builder

The necessary power supply really depends on the components your using all together, but according to the Gigabyte website it says you need at least 400W.

They recommend a 300w power supply, but I am running it in a HTPC with only a 250w with 2 HDD internals and a 3tb external
