You are buying a $600 video card and not spend more than $60 for PSU?
Really?

Nope, under the load the r9 290 pulls a hefty 418W, along with the rest of the components your PSU will not be sufficient.

You will need minimum of 650w without overclocking. It is better to invest in PSU and get really good 750w. Go for corsair hx 750.
