Your PSU will be fine with an R9 290.

some people have said that the r9 290 requires a 750w

Suztera · Oct 16, 2014

If it is a rubbish quality 750W then yes that is what you need. If you have a good quality 650W or even a 550W, a R9 290 will run fine in them.
The EVGA G 650W is a decent quality PSU.

Rather than start a new thread, thought id hijack this as im interested in a 290 also {Tri x}.

From what ive read, i think il be ok too. But would Just like to check, will this PSU do...

OCZ 650w
http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/ocz-zs-series-650w-power-supply-review,1.html

i5 2500
4gb ram Gskill RJ
GA-P61-USB3-B3
2x300 gb seagate HDD

No optical drives connected

Place im ordering from says 750w recommended.

Thanks.

Your PSU is ok to use. But you should have really make a new thread.
You can get a 750W if it worries you that much. Get the EVGA 750W B2.

Lubo :

dont get tri-x on amazon the difference between the vapour x and tri-x is like £10-£15

Lubo · Oct 16, 2014

Apologies for the hijacking. Wont appen again Guv.

@Suztera, TY. Plan on upgrading my PSU in the new year. The graphics card will be any day. Now that i know a 650w is 'safe'.

@Neel_v, Im finding it way cheaper than amazon with the AMD game bundle chucked in.

Starting another thread....
