Will the R9 290 run on a 600W PSU

I want to buy the R9 290 GPU but i cant find the system requirements anywhere. My computer has a 600W power unit. Will this be ok? i will be only buying just one.

Yes, as long as your power supply has the necessary 8pin and 6pin power connectors, the R9 290 will run on a 600w unit.

Yes. That would be enough, unless you are deciding to go SLI in the future, then you might want to upgrade to a bronze/silver/platium +800W PSU, depending on the rest of your system of course

Would it run on 550w? Short term? like a week or so.

It probably would assuming the power supply is of a decent efficiency. They say minimum is 600w but I think as long as you don't make the card draw too much power (heavy gaming) you should be fine.
