Is 650w psu enough for a r9 290x?

[Antimetrics]

Im planning to buy a r9 290x though i heard it is fairly power hungry despite amd claims it isnt. So what is a minium power supply needed for this card/

What's your PSU?
Yes the card requires minimum 650w.

That's plenty. So yes, you will be able to run it with your PSU

Yes ur power supply is enough for 290x. I think its better to get GTX780, as its just 1-5%(not noticable) slower than 290x and runs a lot cooler as 290x have only reference cooling which is very bad.
