Hi !

i want to (soon) get a new video card and i know its pretty overpowered already i currently run a r9 290 on a 1080p monitor :P

but i currently have a 750 Wattage PSU its a G750M from cooler master and have a MSI r9 290 4G i dont know which version of the r9 290 but i am not going to get a massive overclocking card.

 

but back to the point do i have enough wattage for another r9 290 ? here is my rig which i currently own
