PSU: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
card: XFX Radeon R9 280X 3GB Double Dissipation Video Card
Build list: http://

My build includes a
Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor with a ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard.

Just wondering if a 620W seasonic will be enough to power the gpu as well as the rest of the build? Thanks
 
That is a high quality power supply and will do a good job for you.

I use a Seasonic Platinum SS-660XP2. During benchmarks that stress my system when highly overclocked, it pulls no more than 450 watts. However, gaming is about as stressful as most computers get and my Intel i5 3570K overclocked to 4.0GHz and my MSI GTX 980 Ti Lightning LE not overclocked my system maxes out at around 200 watts for World of Tanks, World of Warships, and other games with like wattage requirements.

The important thing is to buy quality. Good power supplies are most efficient when operating around 50%, so, you have picked a very good power supply.
