I have Cooler Master 650W 80+ Bronze. And I'm thinking of getting R9 280X. On offical sapphire page says that R9 280X needs 750W PSU, but on internet everybody is saying that this card doesn't need more than 600W even PSU calculator says that max it will need is 590 W. What do you think ????  Can I run R9 280X with 650W PSU ?????
Thanks !
