AMD R9 290x with 750w psu?

Wolfram DK · Dec 4, 2013

I am incredibly stupid as far as psu goes. Im about to buy a R9 290x card but i have seen that the minimum reccomended power supply is 750w... I allready have that, but im still kinda scared of buying it!

I own this psu:

Will it be able to carry my system including a R9 290x card?

There is no single card build that needs more than 750w you will be fine. the suggested 750w by manufacturer takes into account running an average system not just the card. your psu will be fine.

It will handle it with no problems. I think it even capable of running 2.

You're golden. That Psu is a good quality, and has plenty of wattage for that card. No worries whatsoever man.

No problem for 1 card, but I wouldn't run 2 with it the 290x is a power hungry beast. A single card can use ~300w(thats not including the rest of the system).
