Yeah that PSU isn't too bad quality in general.
However it only provides about 22Amps on tow 12v rails(total : 432W). Which just is NOT gonna cut it for such a power hungry card as the R9 290.

Under load your psu will have a hard time supplying ample power to your components. But it will still work nontheless.. after you purchase your r9 290, your next step should be to buy a new psu and learn to overclock that gpu.
