i just purchased a r9 290x and it says a 750 w power supply is required so i bought this one. will this PSU work??

Yes. The most important thing is the proper number of PCI-E connectors. I believe that the R9 290 requires 2 8 pin Or 1 6 pin and an 8 pin. Frankly you can possibly get away with a smaller PS provided all the power requirements for all the components are met

Obviously if the packaging of the box says the GPU needed a specific amount of watts in order to perform and execute the demands of the owner then of course! The R9 290X is quite consuming in power so I suggest you get a 800 or 850 watt power supply in order for it to be sufficient enough so that you have no worries about power failures or any unwanted damages such as a dead GPU due to the causes of power failures. Anyways, I hope this answer helped you make the right choice. However, I also suggest that you get yourself the modular version in order to help in keeping the other components of the computer to be efficiently cooled and for the other components to last longer.

This card needs a minimum 300 watt PSU according to Nividia web site. sorry Make sure you keep the dust blown out of your computer, it will add years to its life. Ed

It should work fine on any 300 watt or more power supply. It's total draw is only going to be 75 watts as that is all the power that can go through a PCI-E slot and this card does not have an extra power connection.

This PSU does not have the connectors for a graphics card & it only has a 4 pins for the CPU. Sounds like you need a power supply for a gaming computer & this is not the one.

A 300 w PSU will probably allow it to operate, but if you can, I would get a better PSU since it affects graphics card performance. I ordered a new 400 w PSU along with this card. Just make sure you know what you're doing if you swap out the old PSU for the new one.

In all honesty a 250w power supply means a lack of power and I would question if you had the right hardware to support this card in the first place. Get a larger power supply they are cheap

Yes, per the box's requirements "750w (or greater) power supply with one 150w 8-pin PCI Express power connector and one 75w 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended. Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to http://ati.amd.com/certifiedPSU for a list of certified products."

I would try out your 650 watt to see if it works ago before you spend anymore money. I am currently using a 850 watt PSU. If it does not work you can always order a new PSU later.

Dont believe so, on the box it says it requires a 500W power supply, I run a 600W supply with this card.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

yes it will work just fine if it works the one I got was DOA and they would not exchange it just refund it. I ended up getting a Coolermaster from Best Buy since i did not want to wait for it to be shipped again. I got a 750 watt PSU and hooked it up to a GTX 260 and works great so this should be more than enough to run your card.

Yes it will, but dang, you're gonna need a big PSU :P. I think my 900Watt won't even power a second 290X GPU lol. If you want a new GPU, this is the one to get. ATLEAST 200Fps Every game. Cod ghost, perfect to play with , besides because there is optimization problems in the game, I get a 0.2 second lag every 10 mins lol. No bad, xD.

Yes, it recommends a minimum system PSU of 500W. 600W will be fine as long as you are using this as a single card (not SLI). Do yourself a favor and get a good PSU from a reputable brand (e.g. Seasonic). Don't skimp on the quality of the PSU to save a couple bucks.

The card calls for 550watt power supply minimum on the box. I run a Corsair TX650 to power it and my hardware with a i5-3570k CPU. I think a 750watt would work well if you want at least that. :)

You should be OK. I just built a steam machine with a 430w PSU and I'm running this card just fine!

It will power your system without an issue. With those specs I would suspect even a 500 watt PSU would work but if you plan on upgrading in the future or putting that video card in Crossfire you would want the 700 watt. Here is a link to a a PSU calculator that should help you in the future, http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com

The 600w PSU that you had before was likely defective. Unless you failed to mention an SLI or Crossfire setup with 2 or more VERY high end cards, there is no reason the 600w should not have powered that setup. My 750w is currently powering a 4770k @ 4.6 Ghz and a 780ti that is overclocked.Full Specs:i7 4770k @ 4.6GhzMSI GTX 780ti overclockedMSI Z87 Gaming ITX Motherboard16GB Crucial Ballistix Low Profile RAM2x 500GB Samsung 840 EVO SSDCorsair H100i Water CoolerCorsair Obsidian 250D CaseCorsair CS 750w PSU
