I would be very grateful if someone could tell me will my Corsair AX760 PSU be enough power to handle a Radeon R9 290X Tri-x 8GB Graphics card? My current setup is below:

Case: Aerocool Xpredator Evil Black Edition
PSU: Corsair AX760
CPU: AMD FX 8350
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Memory: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
HDD's: 1x 128GB SSD, 3x 3.5 SATA 7200rpm
Graphics Card: MSI Radeon R9 290 4GB
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i
 
Solution
You should be fine. The graphics card has a max TDP of 290W and the CPU a max TDP of 125W. Even with power drawn from other components factored in (HDDs, cooling system, etc) the PSU will be more than enough for that build. The AX760 has a 63 amp rail so you're going to be fine.
