What do u guys think? I am going to do GPU overclocking, no CPU overclocking.

I got the new parts for my new PC build and I am currently building it.

PC Specs:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K
GPU: MSI R9 390 8GB Gaming Edition
MOBO: MSI Z170 Gaming M5
RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 2400Mhz
HDD: 1TB WD Caviar Blue
PSU:EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1 80+ GOLD, 650W Continuous Power

I was looking into the r9 390x, but the $100/$150 for +-4 FPS wasn't worth it,
so got the R9 390 and now the problem is will the PSU be enough to power this build?

Thank you,

Thanks, will I be able to fully overclock my GPU? On the retail box the GPU comes in says Recommended 750W power supply
Some said that u can't run a R9 390 on a 650w power supply and the quality of the PSU also plays a role they said.

They are exagerrating the amount needed just so the people with crappy no-name PSUs won't try to run it in their 700W Diablotek and blow their PC up or some kind. The R9 390 actually needs a 30A on the 12V rails and a 550-600W psu minimum, so you should be good to go. As for overclocking, I can't tell for sure as every GPU is different in terms of potential overclock, and no single GPU is the same.
