I have an AMD FX-8350 with a Corsair H110 and I would like to buy an Ati Radeon r9 290x GPU.
My question is that my 550 Watt PS is enough for this bad boys?
 
Solution
Yes , it has 42 amps on the 12v rail and 2 - 6+2 pins , and should be sufficient to run a 290x.

Your power supply should be able to power the card based on it's specs.

A Radeon R9-290X needs 33 amps on the 12v rail and a 600 watt power supply.


A HIGH QUALITY 550 watt will run it.

Like this XFX made buy SEASONIC.
