Psu good enough for 290

[007agentHP]

hello, i want to know if my seasonic s12ii 620w will be enough power for a gigabyte r9 290 windforce?

Depends on the rest of the system's specs but more than likely it will be enough.

yeah im only running a i5 4590 with 1600 mhz 8 gb ram, 1 hdd , and a optical drive.

 

[bignastyid]

It should be fine.

It'll be tight, but for a general system. It should be enough.

*It sounds like you haven't bought the card yet?

If so, you might want to consider the MSI GTX970 TwinFrozr V.

The new Maxwell cards are amazing and also come with some new features you should read about if still on the fence. Here's the Asus performance as I don't have a good average of games for the MSI card (just increase it even more in the charts):

So the MSI GTX970 is at least 15% faster than an R9-290X if you compare overclocked cards.
