Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX

    Six hours ago you asked this same question and got some good answers. Why ask it again?

    This is the response I already gave you...

    It looks like you should be okay.

    Estimated max power withdrawal for your:

    CPU: 125watts

    GPU: 250watts (minimum power supply required of 600watts for GPU and system)

    So to power everything with a 650watt bronze rated psu, you should just be okay.
