You sure it's that high?
A 7990 only draws ~350w

Think you got your number wrong:

It's about 340 peak, you should be fine.
Yeah definitely read it correctly.....that is for the standard lightning.
The Boost edition seems to draw a lot more 431!! http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/392...review-fastest-hd-7970-yet-energy-consumption

Sweet mother of god.
I wouldn't be happy with that card given your PSU, but it's your call, and if you were to get that you would probably need a new PSU - might as well stump up the extra and go for the 290.
I am going to go for this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-091-HS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1842
Would rather buy a up to date card rather than a 7970. I know there isn't any difference. But r280x makes sense.
Thanks guys.
