K Kevzorage Reputable May 4, 2014 3 0 4,520 May 4, 2014 #1 I'm planning out a computer, but I'm worried that the R9 290X might completely destroy the motherboard and the PSU due to its beefiness. Any sort of verification or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance!

Solution K K Kevzorage May 4, 2014 ak47jar3d : I would say the requirement is 600w since the TDP of the card is 287. Ensure that your power supply is quality one with at least 80+ certification. I've checked on the Corsair website, it's 80 Plus certified, 650W, I think I'm good to go
