What power supply should I get for this build?

Solution
Your Radeon R9-280 needs 25 to 30 Amps on the 12v rail (>100w idle; >300w loaded, add 20w if overclocked). It also requires combined 6-pin & 6+2-pin PCIe power plug from PSU.

So you will be needing a PSU not lower than 500 watt with at least two PCIE 6/6+2 power connections. :)
