Hey guys, I am running a AMD FX 8320, a sapphire HD 7950, cooler master hyper tx3 evo cpu cooler, 3 fans in my system. I have a CS650M, 650w 80+ gold certified. I am upgrading to a r9 290x at the end of the year, I am curious if this will be enough power. I have asked a few people and looked at a few websites. I'm getting a few different opinions, that's more than enough, risky, not enough. I have came hear to ask the pro's and to see if i can get a final answer. If its risky I will purchase the 750m or 860i. thanks

plenty for the 290X

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
