A good 650w power supply is enough for that build. I usually tell people to avoid the corsair cx (I am assuming you meant Corsair and not crosshair) series since they use cheap secondary capacitors that fail at high heat (when the PSU is at heavy loads).
If you are sure that the power supply is the problem then here are some good quality replacements (assuming you are in the US):
Power Supply: XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($67.99 @ NCIX US)
Good brands to look at are Seasonic, XFX, Antec (stick to the High Current Gamer series only), Corsair (AX/HX/TX series only).

well I plug my psu into an older pc it had the same issue. And i took the old psu and plug it into my new pc and everything turn on (gpu was not plug in) however i don't have another 750w psu so I guess I will have to wait for a replacement
But I would like to know why my psu was dmg in the first place so it does not happen again

Not sure what caused it, might have just been a bad unit or something. The corsair cx should have a 3 year warranty if you are still in that time frame. If you want to get a new one anyways you can send the cx in for warranty replacement and sell the replacement on ebay or something.
My guess would be that the r9 290x puts too much strain on the unit and the crappy caps heated up untill they failed but no way of knowing without opening up the PSU.
Oh yeah, if you want a good quality 750w to be safe then this is a great option:
Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.99 @ NCIX US)
It comes with a 10 year warranty (have to register online for it).
Edit: The cx series are a budget line of power supplies and should have never been paired with a r9 290x in the first place.

well i just wanted to double checked if it was my power supply so i did the paper clip test and as i thought it didn't work. Than i kick it and it turn on..... Replug it back into my pc and now it works. Although i have a feeling when i start playing it will crash again. so for now I will just use it for youtube untill i can get a new psu.

as for other damaged components... cpu has overheat protection i think... i think there should not be a problem, if thermal paste was added properly.
if possible get another disk, ssd if possible, i allways sepperate data...in case of disk crash...
what motherboard u have?
I highly doubt it is the motherboard or other component, plus it's "cheaper" to change the PSU to a better one than a motherboard. The system won't turn on properly without a good PSU, so that.

So... now the only way to get my pc to work after it crash is to hit the back of power supply. I'm going to buy a new one but just would like to know if EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B 80 Plus Bronze Certified is any good.
I Know someone gave me a link for another evga but they don't have it in stock at my local store.

Any XFX or Antec power supplies? You can take a look at this list also, any Tier 1 or Tier 2 A or B will be a good choice:
