drives only take very low power... ur psu is able to power another drive without any issues.

The limiting factor should be how many sata power cables your PSU has...

Sent from microwave oven using GAGT

Should be can lo.

get a higher rating psu just in case you need to add more devices in the future, it will not case more~

Each SSD at max 6W, each 7200 rpm HDD only around 10W. Tell me you need higher wattage just for these??

Dont see an issue unless u go upgrade some other parts...

yup get higher rating psu for future uses.

More than enough power. Even 500W also enough.

I guess a higher wattage would be better for future upgrades~

620 watts is plenty.. no worries bro. Even 290x also no problem.

am planning on going 4K monitor so looking at 980ti. doesn't seem enough power. another issue the space/room for the huge card and whether my board can support that.
