After getting excellent tips from Tom's Hardware forum-users and reading some of the site's reviews, I ordered a R9 290 and an Artic cooler.

Following that, I embarked on a search for the perfect PSU and found the aforementioned Corsair TX850 Enthusiast Series, but don't know how good they actually are. I read some of the sticky posts about PSU and it wasn't listed in the Recommended PSU post, but I don't know how updated that is, hence why I'm here.
Since I couldn't find R9 290 on Thermaltek Power Supply Calculator, I used R9 290X, and it returned 777W as the recommended PSU wattage.

Is the Corsair TX850 enough for me? The price is nice for me (at least as far as Brazilian prices on computer parts go), I found a local trusted shop with a promotion and I'm thinking about buying it from there.


This is my specs:
Sabertooth 990FX
FX-8320 @ 4.0GHz
AMD Radeon R9 290 (soon)
2x 7200 HDD
DVD-RW Drive
Water Cooling by Corsair H60

Yes you will be just fine with that PSU. I see no problems at all. And the Thermaltek Calculation seems abit high for the hardware you have anyway.
