Normally, a 290X needs a 6 and an 8 pin psu connector.

The card 290X you picked is a highly factory overclocked version that needs 2 8 pin connectors.
The evga 750w has 4 6+8 connectors so you are good there.
6+8 means that the lead can handle either a 6 or 8 pin requirement.

Some of the R9 X cards have had some issues. You might want to see what the upcoming AMD cards have to offer.
