Hello, I am thinking of upgrading my pc with new mobo (ASRock 990FX Extreme3), cpu (AMD FX-9370) and cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo), the thing which I'm worried about is would I be able to run all of this with my current graphic card Radeon R9 290 Sapphire Vapor-X on the PSU I am using right know which is Seasonic S12II - 620Watt supply, I know both gpu and cpu drain a lot of power at their peaks, but would it be possible?
The rest of power drain in my pc is 1TB WD Caviar Black HDD, 4x2GB Kingston 1333MHz DDR3 RAM and an extra cooling fan at the back side of case

Don't bother with the FX 9370. The FX 9370 is not officially supported on that motherboard and I would go with a better motherboard such as Asrock 970 Performance.
The FX 9370 isn't worth paying for since it is just an overclocked FX 8350. You can save money by getting a FX 8350 and overclocking yourself or better yet move to intel.
The 620W Seasonic is fine with a R9 290 build but you don't have the required two 8 pcie power cables from the psu for the R9 290 Vapor-X card.

No, only using a 620w PSU with a 220w cpu and a gpu that pull over 300w is just a recipe for failure. You best option would be to bail from the sinking boat that is AMDS CPU division and get an Intel. That cpu with a proper motherboard, cooler(btw the 212 is not adequate for a 9xxx series cpu), and a new PSU is going to cost about $500

It would cost less to upgrade the the 4690k
