I got 3 of those with a 1k PSU and its fine.
but it won't hold 4 cards unless you do some serious undervolting & underclocking.

are you mining x11 coin or another coin? x11 coin has energy efficient? it is half of scrypt power. it use less energy. Smiley

if I guess if I buy like 1300w gold, then I can put all 4 x 290 + system in one psu ( 1300w).

I'm talking about scrypt / n-factor algos. With x11 I reckon 1k PSU can hold 4 cards, but you're gonna limit yourself to only x11 coins.

The 290 consume anywhere between 225w to 375w depending on how you under/over clock them. So yo answer your question (was it a question?): yeah, you could, so long as you're not planning on overclocking it and you make sure you undervolt it.
