PSU Powerful Enough?

[Austin4606]

I'm planning to get this beauty for Christmas: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150697

 

And i'm curious, will my 600W PSU will be enough? This is the model i'm getting: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ML0OC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Yes, that is fine. 

 

Unless you are running a crazy CPU. 

[Fate]

Yup it should be fine and dandy.

[Austin4606]

Yes, that is fine.

I have a i7 860. Does that count as crazy?

Not at all. A 9590 is crazy (220W)

I bought the reference 290x today and my 600w psu was fine in stress tests

Uh.. another question. Will an Acer motherboard work with this graphics card? I'm using a pre-built PCs motherboard.

That will support a GPU, though it could bottleneck.

Why exactly?

[connorpiper]

Why exactly?

 

Not enough bandwidth. Though I think you will be fine. 

And if you are not, motherboards are not that expensive.
