if I were you I would downgrade the psu and upgrade the ram to 8Gb 2x4Gb if you see my specs at the bottom right of this post I have the step down from that cpu with 8gb ram and a 750 Ti gpu and I do pretty good for games everything I play I play at ultimate/high mix settings mostly ultimate except shadows shadows has to be on medium but for you with the r9 280x is a bit better than the 750 ti so i would downgrade to a 600-650w psu and upgrade to 8Gb 2x4Gb 1333 or 1600 ram and you would do pretty good on games probably ultimate on everything and be able to get 40-50+FPS on graphics intensive situations 80-120FPS in non graphics intensive situations and im only saying that because I myself get those FPS on my card and it is crappier than...

The thing is i already ordered these components i am just making sure i did not make a mistake buying them btw i got r9 280x for 150$ what a steal 😀 the ram i can add later and the PSU well on the official site it says it requires 750W psu to run r9 280x i know they write more then you need but better safe then sorry also with some overclocking on fx 6300 and some case fans added later it probably wont go to waste. It made me change my nickname for some reason but it is still me 😀
 
if that is what it requires then stick with that but if you go for more ram later on make sure to get the same exact ram or you might get blue screen crashes other than that your setup seems to be pretty good
