I have a Antec sonata 3 case and planning on buying these components.

ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z
AMD FX-8350
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
ASUS Graphics card
Maxtor Hard Drive
DVD drive

My Antec sonata case has a max of 500W. Any suggestions?
 
The Antec Sonata III 500 includes an Antec EA-500D Green power supply unit that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 37 Amps and has one 75W 6-pin and one 150W (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

A GeForce GTX 760 or Radeon R9 280 will work with that power supply unit.
 


That's a brand not a model.

Do you have an:
AMD Radeon R9 290X
AMD Radeon R9 290
AMD Radeon R9 280X
AMD Radeon R9 280
AMD Radeon R9 270X
AMD Radeon R9 270
AMD Radeon R7 265
AMD Radeon R7 260X
AMD Radeon R7 260
AMD Radeon R7 250X
AMD Radeon R7 250
AMD Radeon R7 240
AMD Radeon HD 7990
AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition
AMD Radeon HD 7970
AMD Radeon HD 7950
AMD Radeon HD 7870 Boost Edition
AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition
AMD Radeon HD 7850
AMD Radeon HD 7790
AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition
...
etc.

They all consume different amounts of power.
