Assuming it can actually deliver that wattage, it should be fine. Peak TDP of R9 390 is 275W (at 100% load). Your CPU is probably <120W (even if massively OCed) and the rest of your components won't draw anywhere near 100W obviously. A good quality PSU can fully deliver the rated wattage without breaking a sweat.

It's an old article, but PSU design hasn't changed very much.

The FSP500-60APN isn't a great PSU by the looks of things, with a maximum of 400W stable load. Not sure where your particular version ranks though. As you can see, most 500W PSUs can stably deliver the full 500W.
Your CPU has an 84W TDP (assuming not OCed).
