290 is the fastest.

600w should be fine,

the 290 only takes a max of 360w oc'd, as low as 260 at stock ( gpuz tells me this was the power consumption under furmark load )

Yes, you could run two 290s off that if you wanted. Although it would be very close.

600 is ok. I run a 290 vapor x on a 550 watt (seasonic gold).

290, without question. The other two don't even come close. Yes, 600 watts is enough; I use 650, albeit with a power hungry CPU.

Even when fully overclocked my system never went higher than 600 watts.

Ya so theoretically you may be able to crossfire 290s on a 600 watt PSU. In practice if you try it it will crash.

No, as long as you are not overclocking the 290s and not pushing a 4790k to 4.8Ghz you will be under 600 by a good enough margin.
