Is there a question in there somewhere ? I'll guess you want to know if the 520 is adequate for a 290 ...

Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 254 Watts

AMD R9 290 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 290X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550~600 Watt power supply unit.


If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

The S12 520 is built on Seasonic GB Bronze platform and this platform is also the basis of other vendor's 550 watters. Given the quality of the S12 dsisgn, I'd have no concerns as long as you are not heavily OC'ing CPU and GPU.
