Hello Everyone,

I want to buy a SAPPHIRE TOXIC R9 280X Graphics card but i'm not sure if my psu can handle it. It's a be quiet system power 700w. Sapphire's site is saying that a 750 Watt Power Supply is required. I really want this card but if my psu can't handle it I'm going to look for something else. I would really appreciate your advice.

Current Specs:
CASE: CMstorm Enforcer
CPU: AMD FX-8120 (3,9GHz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master hyper 212 EVO
MOBO: Sabertooth 990fx
GPU: Radeon HD 7850
RAM: 16GB Kingston Hyperx Genesis 1600mhz
SSD: Kingston Hyperx 3k 120GB
HDD: WD 2TB Blue 7200RPM
PSU: be quiet system power 700w

Thanks for your answer, i think it's a beautiful card and it would have been a shame if i couldn't buy it because of my PSU. Also, i just looked inside my case if such a large card would fit. It will but i had to get out the HDD cage. The card is 308mm long and i have 390mm of space without my HDD cage, with the cage in there i would have 270mm of space for a graphics card.
