I'm new here and i have a question. I want to build a desktop with following specs.

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition (PC3-14900 (DDR3-1866))
Moaderboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 (AMD 990FX)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C4G3D1608ET3LX0CEU
Grafics: MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4G
SSD: Crucial 2.5" M500 240GB
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST2000DM001, 2TB
Power: Cooler Master VS V550S
Cooler Master CM 690 III Closed

My question is of this compartments going to work well with each other?

I will be grateful if you can help me.

Yup, that'll all work nicely, you've got a good build there.
My only concern is the 550W PSU. At first I wasn't happy about the brand, though that seems to actually be a pretty good model. However, you're also cutting it pretty fine with 550W on a 275W GPU + 125W CPU. If you're never going to do any overclocking then you're probably fine. But both that CPU and GPU draw some serious power if you want to start overclocking. In which case you might be better looking at a 650W unit.

You can get a nice Corsair HX-650W from Newegg for $90 after MIR (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012)
Or, if you don't mind an older model with lower efficiency (still decent quality, just older design), the TX-650 for $70...

Otherwise, all good!

@rhysiam, Thank you very much for your quick answer! I will look further for a bigger PSU. Indeed, I think it's smarter to take a bigger PSU because if i want to expand my GPU performance later i will run short on my 550W

Thx! I found another motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD80, it's a bit cheaper and i think also good enough. regard to PSU i will buy the big one indeed
