Hi,

1200 W is recommended .. better to be safe than sorry.

Cross-fire is not needed ... not sure by VGA resistor hack if your referring to dummy plugs.

Windows is fine unless your familiar with linux .. both give roughly the same performance.

Hope that helps/

latest amd drivers doesnt require vga resistor hack method.

You can buy seasonic 750w and 850w . Use add2psu cable to combine them.

The minimum power requirement should be mentioned somewhere on the card box/manual. And yes the other components are fine.

Btw did you come for the Bombay Bitcoin Meetup ?

romiferns - a 650w psu will be good for the 290x. You can probably get away with a 550w, if you can find one. Get a good brand. Never skimp on the PSU.
