R9 290 PSU required

Considering getting this video card:

The recommended PSU is 750W, I planned to put it in a system with a 4670k, 1 SSD, 16 GB RAM, H100i liquid cooler. It doesn't seem like the card would need that much power, would a 600W PSU be enough? Would that leave enough room for a slight overclock(CPU) or should I just look into a larger PSU?

Even an average 600W PSU can handle your system just fine. What's the name/model number of your PSU?

Ignore what the box says, if you have a high-end PSU. A high-end Seasonic 760W was enough to power a PAIR of 290s and a i5-3570K at stock in my old system. A stock 290 eats about 250W DC at peak load.

I have a Corsair cx600m. I feel like I should be able to put the r9 290 in there and still have some wiggle room for over clocking the CPU.

Your PSU is fine and you will have plenty of room for a slight OC.

I'm running my current system on a 450w gold PSU with no power issues. That said everything is running stock.
