Hello, I'm am going to be building a PC and this build contains the Sapphire TOXIC R9 280X. I know that the recommended power supply for this specific card is 750 Watts or greater (Recommended by the company).I was wondering if 650 Watts would be adequate for this build. I will list what I will be putting in this build to possibly get a more accurate answer.
TOXIC R9 280X
Intel Core i5 4670
Corsair CS650M
Corsair 8GB (2x 4GB) DOMINATOR Platinum Memory Kit
Be Quiet Dark Rock 2 CPU Cooler
Seagate 2TB Hybrid internal storage drive
ASUS TUF Series SABERTOOTH Z87
And some Bluray drive
Thanks

why are you buying Z87 mobo when u dont have a K version of the cpu.
Z series motherboards are meant for overclocking.
either get a i5 4670k or change the motherboard.

That PSU is plenty. Your setup won't break 500 watts, let alone 650.
