Is this PSU strong enough?

Hello!

I just took receipt of another bag of Haribos and lucky me, OcUK decided to throw in an MSI R9 290 Gaming!

Thing is, I have an Antec Truepower 650w in my system. I already have a 290, so it'll be two GPUs.

I also have a Corsair CX750m in my wife's PC, so I could technically swap them over but I'm lazy and follow the route of least resistance.

Would the Antec be man enough, or should I just suck it up, bust out the 'drivers and get on with i?
 
You'd be wanting an 850w or a strong 750w minimum ideally for 290CF, the CX750M *might* be OK temporarily but I have a feeling it won't cope with both of them at full load :(

Any of these would be suitable for 2 290s

Lovely, thanks for the reply. I should've added that the cards will be mining too, so the PSU will be taking quite a beating. I might just invest in a whopper of a PSU and be done with it.
