I wouldn't recommend running a 290 with that PSU.

That looks like some cheap generic PSU model (low quality), as evident from a quick Google search as well. I've never heard of this brand name before though. I strongly suggest AVOID using this PSU to power any GPU. Are you planning to buy the R9 290 ?? I would never use this AVARIS PSU model to power up this video card. It's not a very reliable unit.

Please grab yourself a high quality TIER PSU, from reputed brands like SEASONIC, BE QUIET, EVGA, Corsair, ANTEC, just to name a few.

Good god, that PSU comes with case and the whole thing costs the equivalent of $15. I wouldn't trust this power supply to be connected to a bowl of oatmeal.

Yes, but the brand name itself doesn't mean anything....It depends on the quality of the PSU Model. There have been pretty bad units made by known brands in the past as well. Just look for any higher TIER category of PSUs.

Look for these similar models, if possible. Just for an example:
