will my psu power a r9 295x2
Hi all I just bought a r9 295x2 last night.
the rest of my system is
i7 4470k overclocked to 4.4 with a hi100 cosair cooler
8 gig of ddr3 ram

I was just wodnering if my hx1000w corsair psu will be enough to run the system with the r9 295x2 or will i need to order a new psu to cope with it?

thanks for any help :)

well it turns out that the psu cant cope with the 295x5 and my overclocked 4770k :/  in desktop all was well but started to run a few games/3d mark and it went splat with in 1 min of running. dropped the cpu back to stock at 3.5 and voltage of 1.1 instead of 1.25 and all seems well after 1 hr xD . Looks like i will have to fork out for a bigger /newer psu .
