Hi people.

I had a cooler master GX2 650 80+bronze, and I like to know if I could run a 290x, or a 970, or a 980. In the case that I cant run any of this cards, which card would this psu run?

I got a FX-8320. 

PD: sorry for my english.

Thanks a LOT.

970 and 980 will be fine as for the 290X you will be pushing it a bit close.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

He should be fine with a 290x IMO, I have two of them and I struggle to even go over 530 watts of total system power consumption.

i7 8086k @ 5.3Ghz / 32GB DDR4 Trident Z RGB @ 3733Mhz / Aorus GTX 1080 11Gbps / PG348Q

It's gonna be totally fine in all of those cases, the 290x isn't drawing that much more power than the 970/980.

Yep it will be fine :) But if you want to be sure push it to 750watts or higher, especially if your doing crossfire.

You will want at least 850watt's for 290x crossfire.
