Power intake...massive?

[metaton]

Hi all,

Someone help please,

I recently upgraded my system and I just become terrified when I saw the R9 290X power hungriness.
My question is will 2 R9 290X get enough juice with this setup?


Asus maximus hero mobo
i7 4770 K OC ed to 4,200 Mhz
Corsair H80i Hydro watercooler on cpu +2 fans on radiator
2x 4 gb ddr 3 ram (corsair tuning edition)
NZXT phantom 530 full tower (3 fans 1x 140, 2x 120)
1x SSD samsung 840 evo
1x external samsung 2 TB (usb)HDD
1x DV RW writer
3x various usb devices( Keyboard,camera, mouse wireless)

the PSU is NZXT 1000 W hale 90

I already have a sapphire r9 290X,

and I plan to buy on this week a second one to crossfire them.

On interwiews I read they can eat even 780 W at full load (together)

I am confused. I checked my config with Extreme powersupply calculator it said my power usage is 865 W so theoritically the PSU supposed to be enough to handle it? Or not?

Your psu will handle it ?

Your psu will handle it ?

Yes, this is what I am asking.This was the question.

Easily handle it

Thanks, now I will dare to buy the second one

 

[GefGz]

Yep, easily, that PSU is a decent quality

780w in the reviews would be the full system load, not just the cards

1000w is plenty.

Thank you again guys, I was worried. These babies are a bit pricey. Wouldn`t be a good business to re-sell the second one if the psu is not beefy enough or buy a brand new psu again... Now you make it clear it is good to go THX.
