Please R9 290 HELP!

[Jiro Dimple]

does this psu ( CORSAIR HX650 WATTS) enough for this graphics card?

R9-290 4G GDDR5 512BIT TRI-X OC

 

[Arronleeds]

simple answer-yes

 

[graand]

YES. Good pick as it is part of the TIER 1 list of quality psu's

The power requirements for the 290 is a 550W PSU, So your 650 will be enough, no doubt. As long as you have the proper power connecters for the card, you should be fine

but it says here that 750 is recommended

these is my future build

CPU: i5 4690k
MOBO: MSI z97x GAMING 5
RAM: RIPJAW-x (2x8) 2133mhz
SDD: INTEL 530 SSD 120GB SATA3
HDD: WD Black 1TB
OPTICAL DRIVE: ASUS DVDRW DUAL LAYER 24X SATA
CPU COOLER: COOLERMASTER v4 GTS
CASE FAN: 2 piece of COUGAR DUAL-X 120 CF-D12HB

and PSU : CORSAIR HX650 WATTS or 750 (depends on what you will guys suggest)

is my PSU HX650 enough for my future build? eventhough i overclocked?

For future proof. Its better to be @ 750W, assuming you`ll oc and prolly gonna crossfire.

the R9 290 will peak at 300W Unless you get the vapor X, those things peak at damn near 400W.

So 300W for the GFX Card, your CPU is in the 280W area when overclocked to 4.0Ghz area 1HDD = 5 to 10W 2 sticks of ram 6W every fan 3W and the mobo does 20 to 50W So Right around the 650 mark. There's even some guys on forums who pulled off running a 290 with a 550W PSU. You'll be cutting it close with the 650 but it will do in the long run

intel cpus use alot less power than amd cpus, 650 would still be enough for that system, my mate has an identical system and his 650watt is fine and he overclocks.

here you go, i stuck the parts together on pc partpicker apart from the hdd,ssd and cooler.
look at the power usage.

The PSU its okay, but u said your case only have 2 fans? the 290 produce lot of heat better u add at least 1 more.

Recommended PSU Wattage: 685W http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine (with CPU overclocked to 4.4ghz an 1.4vcore, and 25% aging capacitors.

you should be ok with that PSU. It's a very high quality PSU (http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/corsair-hx650-gold-power-supply-review/1705) that should not have problems when stressed

But if you want to overclock your CPU you should buy a more powerful PSU. If you dont want to overclock it, then 650 will be more than ok.

BTW, I think you should drop the CPU cooler, or at least buy a cheaper one, buy a cheaper ram, and buy an i7-4790k instead.
