650W psu will do the job. Go for Sapphire Tri X. What are the rest of your pc specs?
Btw, if I were you, I'd go for Gtx 970 just because of the low power draw.

core i3 3rd gen
asus h61m-e
1b hdd
4gb ram
currently using r9 270

yes gtx 970 draws way less power then the r9 390 but r9 390 specs are way above then the 970. for that reason I am thinking of that.

Sapphire Tri X all the way.

650w would be enough if you're just running stock.

R9 390 is a lot better than the 970 and cheaper.

970 and 390, both are good performer. But But R9 390 really have a good advantage over 970 that is Vram. AMd offering 8GB vram it is doubled. also Bandwidth is alot higher 512mb comparing to 970. But 390 is latest so you do face the Driver un-optimization issues as always. it will improve afterward.

On the Other HAnd, 970 less power draw............But 3.6 Vram scheme, withdraws the favor, 390 outperform 970 in that case. But Maxwell too good in latest games and smooth as butter in most games.

In case you go with 390, Consider Sapphire TriX is most successful Brand and cooling solution for AMD ever had.

AMD r9 390 is definitely better then 970 for numerous reasons. But make sure you use it in a/c room, AMD runs way more hot then nvidia.

Confidently.
You can choose the local warranty Gigabyte Tri Windforce OC too.
yes it is highly worth of the price and best in performance in this range. beats 970
corsair 650W will be enough.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
