A friend of mine bought me a 290X for helping them with a program. Will my 750 Watt PSU be able to power it? I'll get a link as soon as I get a model number off of it. It was purchased locally, as my old one died.

I have 4 SSD's in my tower, 2 bluray burners, 16gb of ram and a i2600k. Currently I'm running two 6970's (One is a 6950 flashed to a 6970 for 4GB of vram).
 
Great news! He is a good friend. It was a nice surprise to find out he ordered one for me. I'm ready to push BF4 at 1440p.

it should run well for you! in multiplayer i run a mix of high and ultra settings with 2xMSAA and i would say my rock-bottom minimum fps is in the mid to upper 50's.

These weren't helpful? Or did you just want to inform us how you got one for free?
