Assuming you don't have a massively power hungry cpu, or 20 hard drives; Yes

I think that the 690 needs at least a 650w PSU.  Worth the few extra bucks to get 750w or higher, I recommend it.

 

System Requirements - Minimum of a 650 Watt power supply.

Newegg /\

I don't always use Vessel.... but when I do, it's because of Scrapyard Wars.

A 690 take about the same power as a 290/X, which is able to run fine off the 600W SFX Silverstone. So yes.

Except there's no 750W SFX PSU that's worth buying.

Depends on the rest of the machine, you should be able to squeeze it if you're not using something super power hungry.

Heyyo,

I'd also recommend 750w. You never want to run any PSU near 100% load anyways. They'll be less power efficient, produce more heat and have a lower life expectancy.

I myself went with even more breathing room with a 850w 80+ bronze PSU so my PSU is nowhere near full load at any given time. I have Two-Way SLI with GTX 680s which is essentially the same thing as a single GTX 690.

Heyyo,

Again, this is SFX we're talking about. 600W is the highest you'll get.

It will be enough at stock speeds. So with that PSU in the future I'd suggest getting a non-K CPU (not overclocking)
