Yes it will work. Tell your Friend not to rush next time though

I hope it blows now !

What are you guys on? A 290 uses 250 W, even a 550 W PSU would be very generous.

It's not a "great" PSU according to reviews, but it will work fine and 600 W is plenty of power.

Just Don't play any games and you will be fine

It will be fine however it might be slightly louder and generating more heat.

It'll be fine. Paranoia about corsair psu's of late and all units below 600 odd of any half decent make.
