You can use a 550-600W psu to power the PC

Depends on the quality of the power supply, but 900w is plenty for even a pair of 290s. What brand/model is it?

A quality 900W PSU will be more than enough for a single R9 290.

You'll need a good quality 600W-650W PSU to power your system sufficiently.

Cooler Master PSU's are not recommended

Get this instead→XFX ProSeries 750W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbef...

It is Seasonic made, Gold certified and modular.

The CM Silent Pro M2 PSU is from Tier 3 while XFX Pro PSU is from Tier 2 Class A

Like said above, a good quality 600w power supply would be ideal for a single R9 290. I would go somewhere in there to save some money :)

Yes, it is a pretty solid unit

But again I will recommend XFX ProSeries 750W instead.

The RM 750W PSU has operating temperature range of 0-40°C while XFX ProSeries 750W has 0-50°C. This is an important factor in judging the quality of PSU.

Also the RM750 & RM850 units are made by Chicony instead of CWT(Channel Well Technology).

The RM 750 is poorly built, and I wouldn't trust it running anything overclocked, or anything as power hungry as the R9 290.

Cooler Master's V and VS series PSU's are good quality units.
