Hey guys I need with the R9 290x club-3d states that you have to have a minimum of 750 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6 pin PCI Express connector and one 150W 8 pin PCI Express supplementary power connector. Will this power supply work Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750PCBUS 750W ATX 12V 2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply? Will this motherboard work GA-78LMT-USB3 (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#ov).
Please help because I want to get this as soon as possible.

I wouldn't get the club 3D version as it looks and basically is the stock 290X. And with such high temps, it can really ruin performance. I would get the MSI or Asus version as they have the best cooling solutions. But if you are dead set on the Club 3D version, then the answer to your question is yes. But, I would go into pcpartpicker and put in your entire build and see if there are any irregularities. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/27m9t6
