Radeon R9 390 on ASRock X79 Extreme4

[Alexander Dimitrov]

The title pretty much explains my question (and i am not really into hardware :S). I researched and so far i believe it will fit all nice, but i want to be sure, since its not the cheapest card out there.

Also as far as i know the power supply is the other important part, so what i have is most likely 650 watts, but i can not be 100% sure since i can't find any information about it using Aida64. I also can't see any markings on the part too, just the brand Cooler Master :S

I know i am not giving the most information, but its all i could find so far. (I did google how to find the power supply model, but with no success)

Edit: If by chance this video is not supported my fallback would be ASUS Radeon R9 270X, so maybe some opinion if its worth? What i have now is XFX Radeon HD 6790

Still to say what i need this video card if by chance you got better suggestions: First i want to change what i have now, because its faulty and i loose work because of system crashes. I am not 100% sure its the video, but it had even worse problems before the repair. What i do is extensive use of Photoshop (reaching 1920x10000px documents) where i get quite the lag when panning + moderate gaming. I plan on updating my main screen in the future to 4k, so i want the VC to support it well. Also in the future i might update to 32GB ram, so the only thing remaining bad is the video card. The CPU i got is i7-3820 and i think its doing well so far ^^

Well any modern graphics card can pretty much fit in any modern Motherboard considering it has a PCI-E Connection on the card and motherboard. In other words yes the R9 390 will fit in the ASRock X79 Extreme4. For your PSU programs can't pick up the make and model the only way you can check what make and model you have is to look at the side of the Power Supply unit itself. I would say any good make PSU like Corsair, Coolermaster, eVGA, Antec and OCZ being some of them would handle that graphics card with 600 Watts or higher.

Thank you for the answer, according to the question its all i needed to know. Still can you make any comment on the part what i need to use the video card? If my pick is good or something? If not still thank you for the quick answer ^^

you could use some sort of temperature reading software to see if your temps are high I would be concerned if you CPU goes above 60 degrees or you video card to go above 90 degrees but Photoshop itself is pretty CPU heavy its self.
You could use software like H/W Monitor (download.cpuid.com/hwmonitor/hwmonitor_1.28.exe) to check temps I would think that if it was your graphics card your screen would go black or a message in the bottom right would say AMD/Nvidia Drivers have crashed

Anyway I'm glad to help out.
