Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W,Antec HCG 620M,Rosewill Capstone 650M or XFX Core 650W.
All great brands and great quality.

If you don't plan on overclocking anything, this one should do nicely: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=59615&promoid=1303 This XFX unit is manufactured bt Seasonic, so it is of great quality.

If you want a bit more headroom for overclocking then this unit should suit you very well: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=52174 Seasonic S12II-620 620w

will i would get good fps? will it allow to upgrade ram in future?

 

[sincreator]

Adding extra ram will BARELY use any extra power, so all the units suggested will be fine. 😉

A power suply has no effect on frame rates. It is either capable of providing enough power to components and you get the same performance out of any of them or it is not and you get random crashes, reboots, display corruption and various other issues.

RAM only uses 2-3W per DIMM so it is pretty much inconsequential for PSU selection.

A PSU has nothing to do with FPS in games.
GPU and CPU are the ones that matter.The stronger the pair,the more FPS you get.
And yes,you can upgrade your RAM in the future as well as upgrade your card.

The Seasonic one is top quality,while the others are great too.
They definitely won't cause any reboots or stuff like that.
And yes,it is compatible with your build. -_-

will this be compatible with my rig (read my specs in description)

 

[LukaBoki]

Yes,it will be compatible with your build.Why wouldn't it be?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

XFX 550.

 

[aseem123]

XFX 550.

which is more durable or which will not have any reboots (Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W or XFX550)

which is more durable or which will not have any reboots when doing gaming (Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W or XFX550)

 

[LukaBoki]

Both are extremely good quality.
Seasonic is a manufacturer which makes top of the line PSUs when it comes to quality.Seasonic also makes the XFX PSUs,so they're great quality too.
You can't go wrong with either of them.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Buy whatever one is cheaper they are both solid units.

With a 280X I normally recommend a 550 - something like

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119 or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207030

this card advertises as needing a 750, might check w/ the manufacturer, I haven't used a 280X tha required near that much, but who knows

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The XFX 550 can easily run a 280x.

A Radeon R9-280X needs 30amps on the 12v + rail and at least 550 watt power supply with 1 - 6 PIN and 1 - 6+2 pin PCIE power connections.

The XFX more than meets these requirements.

 

[Tradesman1]

Agree, not sure why Sapphire advertises this as needing a 750 🙁

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Seems a tad bloated to me.

 

[i7Baby]

For a 280x, get a good quality 600+W power supply from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html eg

Seasonic M12II 620 $75 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095

XFX 650 $70 - http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=59616

Antec HCG 620M $85 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371059

but why the sapphire website is saying that 750w psu is required for r9 280x (btw i m not doing any overclocking)

All GPU manufacturers grossly overstate their cards' requirements because there are tons of sub-par PSUs in the wild that cannot reliably deliver more than about half their stickers' ratings.

Even the R9-290X only peaks at 350W. Add 150W for a typical worst-case for the rest of the system, you get 500W. Add a 50% safety margin on top of that, you get 750W.
