You're on pretty much the best review website for graphics cards and you don't even check it.. *facepalm*

• MAX usage R9 290X: 316 W
• Average usage R9 290X in game: 221 W
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2013/06/01/intel-core-i7-4770k-cpu-review/7 (even the K version)
• Rest of system at max load: 137W (from the wallsocket, so you'd still have to calculate the efficiency of the psu to be exact, but lets keep it at 137)
So if you stresstest your whole system, you're going to do 316~ + 137~ = 450~ W at Max. system load (which you don't even get unless you want to stresstest both gpu & cpu at same time for some weird reason)
While gaming it's more like 220 + 110 = 330~ W on average while gaming
So a good 520-600W PSU to get best efficiency while gaming.
e.g. Seasonic S12II-Bronze 520W, Seasonic M12II Evo 520W, ... or gold rated: Cooler Master VS V550S, Seasonic S12G 550W, ...
Good power supplies like those can handle their Wattage 24/7 without breaking a sweat.
I've ran 2x overclocked gtx 670's and overclocked i5 3570k on my xfx pro 650w very easily..
heh you forgot to add the hdd, ram and the optical disk drive. heh so 330 ( gpu + cpu ) + 870 = 1200Watt. THIS GUY WAS RIGHT HAHAHHAHAHA YOU NEED 1200 WATT otherwise forget it. PC wont even turn on XD ah love people like this so we can take a piss out of them. XD
