I just built this machine and I'm having trouble booting with my GTX 980 installed. I was wondering if this PSU provides enough power for my setup. The only reason I am asking is because the q-codes on my mobo are never constant, they are always changing. 
 
EVGA Supernova 850 B2 Power Supply 80PLUS Bronze Certified 850W ATX
Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150
ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO DDR3 2800 LGA 1150
EVGA EVGA GTX980 Superclocked 4GB GDDR5 256bit
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB DDR3 2400MHz
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD
NZXT Kraken x60
 
any help is appreciated!

    Welcome to the forums..Yes the Supernova 850 B2 is more than enough for your system..You may have the original or an older BIOS version installed..There have been 13 BIOS updates for that board since the first release..I would update to the latest BIOS if needed, using the USB BIOS Flashback method (which is the simplest/easiest, but there are other methods) which is described in the motherboard manual section 2.2 and go from there..It sounds like there's an older/original BIOS installed which isn't quite compatible with your hardware.

    Hi, and thanks for the welcome.
     
    I've actually updated the boards bios to the latest version, it's the first thing I did. My GTX 770 is running perfectly fine with this system, I'm guessing that I have a DOA GTX 980, or the PCI bridge is shot on this motherboard.

    you'll have enough power for SLI and headroom for overclocking.
