So here is my system:
CPU-I5 4670k
GPU- r9 290 (will be x2)
mobo- z87-hd3
ram- Gskill ares 2x4gb
Hdd- 1tb caviar black x2
PSU- RM 750w Gold fully modular
5 fans 140 & 120mm
1 200mm fan
cpu isnt overclocked
r9 290 is sapphire toxic so is factory overclocked!

Here it is on partpicker, if it shows you my selection:

Would 750w gold be enough, does it have enough current?
 
Solution
Well yes, but I can't say I'd risk running it on 750w. You'd be pushing the PSU to it's absolute limits and that's not a good thing (Would be better if you had a higher quality PSU. I've head bad things about the RM series (Bar the RM650)

EDIT: If the R9 290s are overclocked, you will NOT have enough wattage to run them

sorry 750 is not enough not by far, 2 overclocked 290s will push an 850w to its limits and kill it eventually (i own 2x 290s and 2x290x )
just get a good 1000w power supply and you cant go wrong

put the power meter on my rig last night and am using around 400w from the wall with 1 290x a 5820k@4,5 and i have a gold 1200w fsp power supply i was running an 850w when i was running the 290s in crossfire and it worked but it didnt like it and i was expecting columns of smoke with each bench lol after a week it would squeal when id turn on, so i upgraded to the 1200w
