Hi,
I'd like to buy second 290 for my rig but I'm not sure if GS800 has enough power for that. Other specs are
3770 stock
2x8 GB RAM 1600
SSD
HDD (WD Red)
Asus Xonar STX
and that's it. I do lots of GPU parallel computing (which maxes GPU to 100%).
So, what do you think, will my PSU be OK with another 290?

From the reviews you should be fine, 2X r9 290 use 500W, and the i7 uses less than 100W, so the PSU will be more than enough for the pc components.
