I have seen a few threads concerning this, but have seen mixed results. I have a Rosewill Fortress 750W psu and am questioning if the R9 295x2 would even possibly run on it. I also have an i7 4770k with no plans to overclock either the cpu or gpu. If there is any other information needed I will provide it as needed.

Considering that the R9 295x2 requires about 500 Watts, I would say that it would be a risky test. You would be able to run it, but if you tried to stress it, it would most likely pull to much and shut down your PC. I would opt for a higher power PSU in order to run it.
