For a high powered gaming build, a CX is not of appropriate quality to go the distance.

I would look at this list and try to find something in Tier's 1 or 2:

Also, if you ever had any thoughts of CrossFiring the 290X to eek out an extra couple of years (or if you upgraded your monitor), you may want to go with a 1000w PSU now:

This would be great:
