will my 650w thermaltake smart series be enough to run my new pcs+ r9 290?

[Omitted]

Here is my set up.

-AMD 8350 8-core.
-8Gb 1600mhz GDDR3 RAM.
-Thermaltake Smart M650w 80 plus Bronze.
-MSI 970 gaming motherboard.
-1T WD black.

Wanting to upgrade from my GTX750. It recommends the 290 750w minimum, but I know that manufacturers will over estimate.

I would get a better quality supply to run a 290.

The power supply is capable to run those specs , it's quality is a little lacking.

A Radeon R9-290X - 33amps on the 12v+ rail and a 600W power supply with 2 - 6 pin PCIE power cables.

Your's meets the requirements.

Can it? Yes. Would I trust it to run it reliably? No.

Japanese Capacitors. It should be fine tbh.

Only the primary cap is Japanese. The secondary caps have been reported as teapo and capxon (depending on the revision) this is why the psu is low tier a not reccomended. The notoriuosly faulty CXs are the same way, a Japanese cap for the primary then low quality capxon secondaries.
