290x are 6 pin and a 8 pin which you have got.
What make and model psu is it ?

That card requires 1x 8 pin and 1x 6 pin pcie connections. Which you appear to have going by the image. As long as it's a reputable brand psu your good to go.

Could you please remove the competitor link.

As i have stated in my earlier post, your psu appears to have the correct connections. On one of your six pin plugs, there are two extra pins that slot on to form a block of eight pins.

That psu will be fine with the card.

Yup psu will be fine.
If your set in a 290x buy one off eBay used as they sell for a lot less than that one you linked too
