I'm currently wondering what is the bare min on a PSU for crossfire R9 290 Vapor-X's...

My current specs: 8350, 1 tb 7200 rpm, 1 ssd, h100i cooler..

I currently have a EVGA 750w G2 PSU, I know I should upgrade the PSU also along with crossfire of the 290s.. But, If it can hold for a week or two, I'd buy another PSU then.

Wondering if the 750w could hold the power up with the above specs and crossfire on the r9 290 vapor-x's...

The 750w might be Ok, I'd suggest 850w.

The 750W will be fine, but not in the long run, at least I would not risk it.

Yeah, I was just wondering if my build could hold together for a week or so until I get a bigger PSU.
