AMD R9 390 with Antec TruePower New 650W

[foxzone91]

Hello everyone!

I'm in the market for a new GPU and the R9 390 seems like a good purchase. However, I'm using a PSU from 2011 or so, the Antec TruePower New 650W (http://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/zardon/antec-truepower-new-650w-review/). I've used it on my previous PC, with no problem whatsoever.

I've been using this website (https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards) and power consumption calculator websites to see if it would be a good fit for a R9 390, however, as it states on the MSI site, the R9 390 uses 30A, while I think my PSU only has 22A or 25A on each +12V rail.

Is it okay for me to use this PSU? Will the 30A be split trough the 2 pin connectors? (the 6 and 6+2)
Do I have the correct pin connectors?

For reference, the rest of my PC is as follows:
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 MOBO
i5 4690K @ 3.50Ghz
2x 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel @ 800 MHZ
ASUS GTX 650 Ti
Western Digital 1TB Black @ 7200 RPM
DVD Drive

Thanks!

That Antec is great and is more than enough for a 390. It has 48 amps on the +12 I believe

Thanks for the answer! So I'll have no problems at all? Do I have all the required cables? The 6+2 Pin connector can serve as the 8 Pin connector right? If the rails are indeed about 22A each, the 2 Rails/Pin connectors I'll be using to power the GPU serve nicely right?
I'm using this GPU for about 5 years now, never had any problems with it, I'm pretty damn happy with Antec hardware =D

Yes 6 + 2's are the same as 8's
You are fine

Well, I'm getting closer and closer to the day that I'm going to get the R9 390. I have another question. Which brand should I buy? MSI or Sapphire? They are both priced the same where I am buying. I was going towards the Sapphire, but I noticed that it requires/recommends a 750W PSU, which I don't have.

I would go with the Sapphire. Your psu is fine.
