Firstoff the bat you need to check whether your mono supports over clocking and then make sure you have adequate cooling for your CPU before you even over clock - theres two ways to over clock:
1st: Throught the bios - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MckeAmnDeTk
2nd: Using AMD Overdrive - its a program made to over clock AMD processors.

So - your mobo is OK
But I gather you've got a stock cpu cooler - so that's a no. Get a custom cooler eg coolemaster hyper 212 evo.
And a raidmax power supply is a no as well. Get a better one per http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html
eg Seasonic 620, XFX 650 or Antec HCG 620M
Don't overclock the R9 290 till you get a better power supply.
See http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2013/11/05/amd-radeon-r9-290-review/10 on how to do it.
