    i5 4440 r9 390 // 600w enough?

    I have an i5 4440 and I plan on getting the r9 390 and I was wondering if 600w is enough power? With these new generation cards aiming to be more power efficient and such, I just wanted to know if I would be okay. I would also plan on getting a H100i. No overclocking though. Thank you.
