Hi!, I want to know a good PSU brand that can handle my new build

Processor:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009O7YUF6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
MoBo:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DJ3DWFK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
GPU: R9 280X
Case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005869A16/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Ram: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WAGGUK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
HDD: 1TB Barracuda

I was thinking to buy a 600W PSU: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EON40CS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER but the problem is that i dont know if it´s going to handle the fx 8350 andd R9 280X, couse both of them use a lot of energy

Generally here is what you get:
* Z97 has all of the options that you probably need.
* H97 usually has NO OC'ing options, but most of the options that Z97 has.
* B85 is usually setup for business (stable and NO OC'ing), but there are some B85 boards that can OC.

The reason I listed the AsRock B85 Mobo, was to try and fit all of the parts into the build. If you want to drop down to the R9 280 to save some $, then do it. I just tried to fit the most into the build with the parts that you wanted (except the 280/280x part).

If your more open to other companies to buy from, you could pay less (not sure if this works for your situation or not, just suggesting options):

280x is better than 280, but if you need to save some $ the 280 is a good deal at $150 (after MIRc):

If I remember correctly, the R9 280 was a 7950 and the R9 280x was the 7970 GPU. That would make the R9 280x the better GPU, but it will depend on your budget on which one to get.

I forgot to mention that if you are planing on the FX 8350 and OC'ing it, you will need an aftermarket CPU HSF or AIO water cooling solution to get the most out of your FX 8350. The CM Hyper 212 EVO would probably be the lowest I would go for air cooling (~$30-35).

Well, the thing is the there is not a big difference in performance, right?
And i´m planing to buy the R9 280 (230), but the R9 280 (180)

so i just want to know if those 230$ really worth them

If you plan to OC then the 8320 is the same part clocked lower .
The asrock board is very strong thermally and has a lot of additional features
The cooler is large and quiet .
The Antec case is an excellent uint with great cable management and cooling

Computers boot faster and load programs quicker when you have an SSD .
My desktop boots from cold in 8 seconds . With a mechanical drive it would be more like a minute to get to a working desktop .
They do make pc feel much faster . But they dont improve performance in a game or once a program is loaded

Yes it can, but I'd consider something like this below (assuming your only buying from Amazon, otherwise there are more affordable options if you can buy from Newegg/NCIX):

* Changed RAM, GPU, Case, & PSU, because prices on the parts are always changing and I think you wanted to go with the R9 280 over the R9 280x.

Thanks you for all your help. I cant buy from other places (and save money -_-) because a i´m not from USA. I´ll go for the X one, enoght videos with this processor and GPU with good FPS. If there is something better in the price range, pls tell me (230$). And i won´t overclock my pc for shure, i don´t want to burn a processor.

Is this MoBo good for gaming? Z97 PC MATE or the H97

What do you think about this case? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I6BJATW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

i can´t find anu video about the SROCK B85 Anniversary, just reviews, nothing with the procesor and running.

What is the best thing i can build with 500? And no GPU

If your not OC'ing the CPU, then the H97 or B85 are good affordable options. If you can find a Z97 based mobo for similar costs (~$5-10 more) then you might want to consider getting one of those.

* The Z97 PC Mate is okay by some reviews, but the cost difference between it and an H97 or B85 isn't worth it, IMHO (especially if your not OC'ing the CPU).
* The Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid Tower Gaming Case is pretty good, but only comes with 1 x 120mm fan, so keep that in mind. The rest of the case looks pretty well laid out and should be built fairly well for the $.
* As far as building up to $500, it all depends on the use of the system. If it is gaming, then I'd recommend:

~$500 before MIR's, so you can decide on what works for you.
