Even 600 should be fine unless you power limit hack the card. 

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

^Yeah what he said, I'm not completely sure what you mean.

I started with the OCZ 600w and it still works but my Vega 56 needs a minimum of 750w so I tried the Corsair and the EVGA. Neither worked. Am I missing something? Seems unlikely I was shipped two faulty PSU. 

...or they are just not good enough for your system...

Why not get one good quality PSU like Bitfenix Formula, Whisper M, Cougar GX-F, Corsair RMx or something like that for the GPU?!
You don't even need 750W, a good quality 550W is plenty...

 

 

And you see that the ones you have right now "don't work"...

I mean I hooked everything up and the system wouldn't power on. I tried just the motherboard and the cpu. I pressed the power button nothing. I tried switching the power and reset button nothing. They just wouldn't power on. 

I hooked back up the OCZ and power.

 

Also I'm in the US. I don't have a preferred retailer. I just want my beast back up and running. Yes I named my computer beast. He's an unsightly fool, but strong.

So with the OCZ it works??

Yes. Press the button and all these blue lights flare up fans start spinning I have power. I connected the mobo and cpu only. Was just testing it, because I thought maybe the CMOS battery considered the age of the system. That wasn't it.

 

How could I have gotten two different brands with 2 faulty psus? That seems so unlikely which is why I am questioning if I missed something.

Did you turn on the power switch at the rear of the power supply?

The green light on the motherboard was on. I even tried flipping it so it was off and pressing the button too.  The computer would not boot no lights came on no fans started spinning it did absolutely goose egg.

Did you use the same PSU-cables that you already had to your original PSU or you changed them out for the cables that came with the new PSU? You can't re-use other cables even if they physically fits the new PSU as there is no shared pin-out standard between the manufacturers. Sometimes not even between modells of the same brand.
