I'm not actually near my computer but on the website it says that the dimensions of the power supply are 150mm x 140mm x 86mm (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) so I would guess that something that would fit that description or smaller would work.
The graphic card I linked was the 290x but the one that I got is the 290. On this website http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_r9_290_review_benchmarks,10.html it says on average I would need a 550w PSU so I was wondering if this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 would work for me. It is the same size as the one in my PC right now and it says it is compatible with my motherboard.

power supplies are basically all the same so there's no worry there.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750xxxb9 - this would be my minimum recommendation.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbefx - for a small price premium this one allows for better efficiency and has full modular support so you choose which cables you need.
Best of luck!

i recommend going to the manufacturer's website for the specific card you wish to buy. that will give you an exact recommended power requirement. from there the bare minimum would be the recommended wattage and one that is a bronze level efficiency. i recommend something like silver or gold just in case because you do not want a high end GPU going under full load on a lower efficiency power supply and failing.
I'm really thinking about getting this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438027&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= , would this one be suitable for my computer and the Sapphire R9 290 that I am getting?
