So I'm going to upgrade my GPU, and I saw the Sapphire R9 290 Tri X OC at a steal 230€ of a price (I currently have a GTX 660) and I have an XFX 850W Black Edition 80+ Gold PSU, and seeing the review of the 290 on Anandtech OC'd it consumed 500W in furmark, so is my 850W good enough for an 8350 aswell OC'd to 4.6Ghz?
 
Solution
850w is more then enough for that setup.
I had that same setup not long ago running on a Corsair AX760w psu and it pulled a max of 500w from the wall even with both cpu and gpu stressed.
