Is this power supply sufficient to run a 290x and 295x2

I know the wattage should be fine, what I am confused about is the pins. I keep hearing the 295x2 requires two 8 pin connections, but so does my 290x? In any case, would this work? Also, is it ok that this is single rail? I don't want opinions on single rail vs multiple rail, I want to know if it will work?

That is enough watts by far, but that company is shocking. You really shouldn't go with that brand, it looks very unreliable and unsafe. Buy a reliable brand like: Corsair or EVGA, etc...

That's not a power supply that's Christmas decoration.

yes you can also crossfire R9 295x2 and R9 290x. triple crossfire will be anabled(you will need a mobo with many pcie lanes to do so though!)

Yeah its a terrible PSU isn't it.

I would suggest a Corsair one like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020055-UK-RM750-Modular-Supply/dp/B00FG9FTDI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433583203&sr=8-2&keywords=Corsair+psu+gold

This is a gold 850W PSU, that will be enough power and is really reliable. Corsair is a very well trusted and respected brand, they make very good quality components and it's buyers tend to not have any problems with the equipment they bought.

That PSU has very bad reviews, and is also likely to overheat and possibly blow up, lol. No seriously don't buy that PSU unless you want to ruin your pc! Everyone ruins their pc by buying a rubbish PSU and ruining their system.

I would say better go for Seasonic or Antec PSUs.

Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-900 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371050&cm_re=antec_hcg_900w_power_supplies-_-17-371-050-_-Product

SeaSonic M12II 850 SS-850AM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151108&cm_re=seasonic_power_supply-_-17-151-108-_-Product

Corsair RM 750 - 1000 are good units but not on the same level as Seasonic, EVGA G2/B2, Antec, Super Flower and all those PSU models.

No Corsair unit below 100 dollars is really worth it.

 

[sora]

Go with an XFX 750W supply or a Seasonic 720W power supply.

 

[senseijtitus]

Go for a slightly higher Wattage PSU for any possible future upgrade.

Try Seasonic M12II 850AM.

I agree with chris and yes single rail will be fine.
