Power Supply and Video Card Compatibility with XPS 8700

Hello, I'd like to know if the XPS 8700 is compatible with a nVidia GeForce GTX 980 and a power supply I found here: www.amazon.com/.../B00K85X23O

Thank you.

That said, for the EVGA brand PSU, I would choose the "B2" version, with a single 62 amp 12V rail vs the B1 version with four lesser rated 12V rails.

The B2 version is $10 more than the B1, however there are several really good PSUs in this price range including EVGA, Seasonic, XFX and some of the Corsairs... Check the thread above for what others are using.

Good luck.
