AMD R9 290 (Non-X, Pro, etc) Owners Club

what sort of wattage would i need. Feel that 900w is probs more than i need. Currently running phenom 965 BE, 16gb ram, 1 R9 290, 1 SDD, 2 HDD and will upgrade to the z97 stuff later in the year hopefully.
 
Had my tri-x for a couple of months and have to say I am so happy I shelled the money for it.

Finally had a play at the weekend with overclocking and got the clocks to 1130/1625 with a +50 power limit and +60 on the core but can't get it higher even if I go to the full 100 on the core and aux power. Any advice? It benches nice and will bench higher than that but I don't count them as it completes Valley at 1200 core but artifacts a lot.
 
Did some psu calculator thing and it said minimum 510 watts but recommended 610 watts so the 650 is now ordered :) hopefully gpu will be solid as a rock after.
 
Been messing about with fan profiles and got it just how I want :)
