You need a 550W psu to run a pc with a R9 280 in it.

Try an XFX 550

Hello,

Yes it should be compatible. Your Corsair CX500 PSU has 2x 6+2Pin PCI Express Power connectors, and the R9 280 Requires an 8 Pin and a 6 Pin

Verify on your power supply that you have 2x 6+2Pin Connectors before purchasing video card though, as you may have an older version of PSU.

Hope this Helps

^^^ i7Baby has a good point though that your power supply may be to low wattage...

It has the proper connectors and I'm 95% sure it will work. I would not recommend it though; The corsair CX PSUs tend to have heat problems and fail due to bad capacitors when put under excessive stress.
