Will a Thermaltake Lite Power 650w Power Supply run a R9 290 or R9 290x?

Hello all,

I am in the process of upgrading my PC,
my specs as follows:

1TB Harddrive Seagate
8GB DDR3 (2x4) Kingston Hyper X RAM 1600MHz
i7-4770k 3.5Ghz Processor
R9 290 or R9 290x 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
4 Case Fans
DVD Drive

Will the Thermaltake 650w Lite Power PSU be able to handle this or will I have to find a different Power Supply?

It will in theory, but those are high power draw cards. I highly recommend looking into a seasonic or corsair psu of the same wattage or higher.

this PSU is little weak in term of quality . . xfx . seasonic are good choice for these cards . . but if you already have this PSU is 290 is almost ok

How about a 'Coolermaster GX 650w ATX 12V 80 PLUS Certified 650w PSU FRPS-C650GXE'? or should I definately go for a Corsair branded one as suggested like - ''Corsair GS700 Tri Color LED 140mm Fan 700W PSU"?
