So i have a TX850M. Rest of specs in sig. 

 

I want to add a second Sapphire R9 280X Dual X -OC Edition card. Right now i have a 7950 reference by sapphire in with the r9 280x, and it seems fine. Just want to make sure i'm not going to blow anything. Also i'm adding two hard drives soon. 

 

 

Thanks

That is more than enough power. 750 would be more than enough as well but 650 would be pushing it.

 

Also if you want people to receive notifications you have to tag them like @BRiteBak

Since when are Corsair fans "turd" fans?

Just to clarify, you intend to try 3 way CF, correct? Or am I mistaken?

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.
