Hey all,

Just need some quick advice as I have seen multiple PSU tiers/reviews/scary threads that have given me conflicting information:
I have the EVGA SuperNOVA 750w NEXB 80+ Bronze PSU and  was built Feb 2015. I have a warranty of 2 years on the build and 5 years on the PSU and it seems to be solid. Note that I didn't build this computer myself, rather had Velocity Micro build it as I don't have time with work, family, etc. They were nothing but amazing btw.

Specs:
CPU: i7-4790k
GPU: EVGA GTX 980 acx 2.0
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEXB 750w
Case: Custom case by VM.
RAM: Crucial 16gb 1600mhz 16gb, 2x8gb
MB: Gigabyte z97x Gaming 7
Cooler: H100i

Do I need to replace the PSU with a better, more solid unit or is it safe to leave in my system until I do my upgrade cycle late 2016/early 2017? Is my system actually in danger of being blown by this PSU? Can this PSU handle a 980ti SC from EVGA or the next generation 980ti equivalent card given it's ranking in PSU tiers?

Thanks for the help guys and girls. I'd do the upgrade myself of course but just wondering if it's needed or my system is in danger...

Some rankings:



Note that this PSU actually looks to be based off the FSP GHN 88 not the FSP Raider?

    Hello Blackshark11,
     
    As the GTX 980Ti has a maximum power draw of 250W versus the 185W of GTX 980, you should have ample power running the 750W. However, if you plan on adding an additional 980Ti/Next gen card or plan on doing heavy overclocking, I would recommend 850W and above. If you have any further issues or questions, feel free to contact us 24/7 at 1-888-881-3842 or by email at support@evga.com.
