its just 50 watts less, do you think it will be okay?

What's the make and model of the psu? 900w says nothing of its quality. The rest of the systems specs would be helpful aswell.

Its vampire 900watts. I am also using msi x99a xpower ac

Yeah that unit is low quality, Raidmax is one of the worst psu brands available. I'd get a 1000w tier 1 or 2 unit.
