im building a new pc

will the xfx radeon r9 280x fit in the Rosewill Challenger-U3 case?

Yes, from looking at the dimensions the card will fit. The case length is 18.5 inches and the card length is 11.5 inches. Take off a bit for HDD bays and I'm sure you will have enough room. This goes also for the width of the card as well.
In conclusion, it will fit.

What will you be using the PC for?

Hello Thepenguin!
The computer looks solid. 2 things I would like to point out though.

Firstly, the AMD cards are quite powerhungry, 500 watts will be well enough but if you plan on maby an OC on both CPU and GPU or maby a CFx in the future. it could be a good idea to "futureproof" yourself with a 750 watt PSU.

Second, when building a new computer today i always suggest installing your OS and maby your favourite games on a SSD. They're quite cheap today and it's extremely worth it.

Good luck on building and have a great time with your new computer!

If you're just gaming you won't need 16 GB of RAM. You can bump it down to 8 GB of faster RAM and save yourself money.

what about twitch streaming or video editing? Would I only need 8 GB of ram?

I'd say yes, 8 GB is fine, but as long as it's not all day or super heavy you will be fine. But if you do that kind of stuff a lot it would be better to throw in the 16 GB.
