Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

AMD R9-290 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550~600 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9-290 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit at a minimum.

If you are going to overclock the GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

I have place your parts of PCPartPicker and it says 562W. So I recommend this PSU.

They ain't my parts

I'm a bit more confident in Guru3D's testing which measures current at the wall tho than with partpicker's sizing algorithm.
