Hey I'd like some input into a new PSU

Nathan68lol · Feb 1, 2016

MY rig is as FX 8350, WD1TB, 8GBs of memory, and a XFX hd 6950 2GB. I forget my motherboard but it's and asus . I just picked up a R9 290x Witch needs a 750watt but right now I have an antec earthwatts green 650Watt witch is to low for the R9.
I'd love to hear some of your suggestions . Ops forgot to put a few things lol the CPU is the black model and the card is the XFX DD 4GB

Assuming that the 8350 is at stock I'd say that the EA650 will run the 290x just fine, as long as it has the proper connectors.

I say stick with your Antec PSU and run the R9-290X, the 750W PSU is recommended taking into account that not all PSU's are capable of what they claim - your Delta built Earthwatts isn't one of those since it is capable of sustaining a full 650W on the 12V rails at 50°C.
Summary: slap that R9-290X in there and enjoy

Your current PSU is absolutely fine for a 290x - the earthwatt green is a rock solid unit - no need to replace at all.
