Hi,

Can a 750w PSU power a R9 295*2?

It'll suck up to 700W, so no, no it won't be suitable. An 850 would work and a 1000 would be ideal.

the 295x2 draws 500+ watts max from the dual 8 pin PCI-E power plugs

 

Unless he is on AMD FX chip which draw a lot of power

 

700 will still be ok

Here is the entire build ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ljsdt6 ) without PSU, I was thinking about the antec TruePower Classic 750w. Its the only I found that is non modular an fit perfectly in the node 304.

750 will be fine since your CPU is not gonna OC

Thanks. I thought about a CPU capable of overclocking but I won't have enough space for a decent cooler since the rear fan exhaust will be taken by the GPU already. If I can find a way to cool the CPU properly (and a good PSU) I might be reconsider it.
