I have an MSI R9 290 Twin Frozr IV on the way and want to know if my Antec HCG-520M will be fine for now?

System:

i5 3570k with Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo with two fans
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
8GB Vengance Blue
128GB ADATA SX900
2GB HD
Blu-ray Player/CD Writer

If it matters 4 or 5 USB devices and three 120mm case fans.

Thanks!

I think your budget for 520W is a bit too tight. Get a Corsair AX760i.

Hi, yes, 520 W for that system is a little tight. If you wanna have some headroom for future upgrades, get something like a 750W.

I agree with a 290 you should at least have a 650w , 520w is too light.
