I've been getting slightly impatient these last 2 weeks and I just want to buy a new graphics card. After re-looking through all the 280x again I think I skipped this one in particular Sapphire Vapor-X R9-280x Tri-X I just have a hunch that the PSU requirement isn't sufficient since it needs 2x 8-Pin connectors, so I'm assuming its a PSU hungry card?
I have a Corsair TX650w (About 4years old) will this be enough? If not, I might need to go with my 2nd GPU choice EVGA 2gb gtx 770sc since I don't have the $ to spare for a new PSU.

Thank You
 
Solution
A Radeon R9-280X needs at least 30 amps on the 12v rail and a 550 watt power supply.

The TX650 HAS 52 AMPS ON THE 12 V RAIL AND 2-6+2 PCIE power connections so it is sufficient to run the 280x.
