My English is sucks,hope you guys can understand.
I recently want to choose a Corsair VS650 PSU for my Sapphire Nitro R9 390.
I am not sure if this PSU can Handle My R9 390,if i don't overclock it.
Also,i don't have enough budget.So,please don't suggest me to buy those high end PSU.
Please give me some possible suggestion,maybe around $60.

Good PSU's cost money, and with cheap PSU's, you can end up frying the PSU unit or worse. It is important not to try to save money on the PSU. besides that, the corsair VS series is not really good for a gaming rig. According to their own specs it should be able to provide enough power the R9 390, given it can provide 50 amps on the 12v line (http://www.corsair.com/en/vs-seriestm-vs650-650-watt-power-supply) and the R9 390 needs about 30 amps.
