I would go 750w G2 or 600B

and if that i5 is used your paying to much for it max is $100

650 isnt enough for one card, non overclocked?

And alright. I'll wait for something better.

550w is enough but the G2 is really high quality and has pretty cables

look on craigslist/kijiji for parts you can usaully get better prices there because ebay is a bit expensive because ebay takes 155 so people jack up the prices

The XFX are also VERY high quality. Their PSUs are made by Seasonic.

Video Card   Asus AMD R​9 290 Rade​on R9290-4​GD5 4 GB G​DDR5      $83.35

 

*Dials number* Yeah hold on, I'm calling bullshit on that one.

 

Edit: To clarify, yes I know you're getting it off ebay but that card has a slim chance in hell of actually getting to you in working condition. It's probably a former mining card that is about to die if it even works.

whatever you say

also are you sure the 290 is working? $90 sounds 1. shady 2. maybe no one has bid on it yet

I would be extremely careful with this. It could be a previous mining card, which would have destroyed a majority of the life span of the card.

Feel free to ninja me on it.

 

EDIT: Eh, true. The seller sates, "Has never been overclocked." So, that's an okay sign.

ITs not as if false advertising on ebay is very difficult
