There will be no problems, PCIE 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI 2.x and 1.x and forwards compatible vice versa. It will have no problems, assuming you have the right PSU for the R9 290X. Enjoy your new card!

You're welcome. There is no bad effect or problems in graphics, you just have to install the latest (not beta) Amd drivers from its site. Btw, What is your PSU make/brand?
