Hello, thanks for taking the time to look at my post, so recently I decided to ask if I needed a new psu. Currently I have an Msi 970ag43 mobo, powercolor turbo duo r9 270, amd fx8320cpu, hyperx 1600 1x8gb ram, blu Ray CDROM(can't use, mod required to take out the cage.), 1tb hdd, h100 cpu cooler and 4x cougar turbine 120mm fans and 2 stock fans for h100 with an antec earth watts 650 psu that I got from a pre owned pc and don't know how old it but do know it's better than my other one I had gotten with my build combo. So the question is should I replace this any time soon and if so what do I replace it with and how much power should it be, I've seen people with the same gpu which says it requires 500w and a fx 8250 cpu which also uses more power than mine on a 600 watt psu so it makes me question how much power I need. Thanks for the help all is aporeciated

I have a r9 290 on a 430 w corsair psu 80 plus bronze. intel i5-4670k at 4ghz, with h100i connected to my asus mini itx 87 mobo connected to my 24 pin psu. Runs ultimate settings witcher 2 / far cry 3 no problems. But for best accurate measuring of how much you really need, check out this link.
