Hey guys, this is my first thread so im sorry if ive already broken a rule or something 
My question is that i have a 700 watt power supply that ive been using for 2 years now and it ran everything perfectly. I recently purchased a Sapphire dual-x R9 280X OC edition and the box says that the recommended power supply is 750 watts which is just 50 watts over what i have right now.
Now iv'e had a 5850 for 2 years and its worked fine with now problems. Just a note, i don't intend to overclock anything at all.
These are my specs :
I5 2300 @2.8ghz (3.10 turbo)
8gb ram
500gb hardrive
HD 5850 (now upgrading to the Sapphire dual-x R9 280X OC)
a basic asus motherboard (P8H61-E i think)
and with all those parts my 700 watt power supply has performed perfectly with no faults. Will it still be able to run the dual-x R9 280X OC or do you guys think i should upgrade.
