As the title implies: Will be able to power 3x r9 290 with a single 1000w PSU? I can get this Tesla R2 1000W for rather cheap. |

Thanks, but after further research I came to the conclusion that even a 850w will be enough (but they're all sold out lol!). So I'll be buying a 1000w after all. |

290s are 300w cards, at least at stock volts / clocks. |
