Thermaltake 650 tough power
Gigabyte r9 290 oc

Ive just bought the cooler master x6 cpu cooler is this a good cpu cooler ? And will I be able to overclock with this cpu cooler

It is way better than the stock Intel cooler and will allow for a good overclock. It will dissipate heat just fine... For comparison sake, the CM Hyper 212 EVO is known as a great budget cooler and has provisions for a second fan (push / pull configuration). You are seemingly locked into one fan, but that shouldn't be a big deal unless you want bragging rights with your overclock. The "high end" option for an air cooler is with the Noctua NH-D14. Settle in with an overclock around 4.5GHz and enjoy. ...or sit lower than that (4.0GHz?) and dial the fan down for low noise.

So 4.0 ghz would be fine with this cooler ?

That would conservative, but would allow for lower fan noise. If the noise doesn't bother you, crank up the OC a bit...
