whit two hdd, dvdrw, i3cpu and r7 260x it shows me 347W, is it then posible to all that run on 420W psu that i have?
 
None of them are very good I would get an xfx 550w 80+ bronze psu this is one of the best psu's for a low cost, this is one of the things that is normally overlooked on pc's. Do not listen to jdcranke07 I agree with all his choices except the Corsair which is popular but not good and if you do get a corsair one tell me which one you're getting because there is a good one.
 
I think the best one in your list is going to be the Fortron Blue Storm II

However, i don't recommend using any of them personally, the R7 260x has a power requirement of 19 amps the blue storm only puts out 18amps on each rail, you might be able to make it work by using two separate rails to power the card, but it isn't recommended.

If you want a good PSU that can power your card and then some for the future look into an Antec unit or maybe a cougar or corisar

Here is a corisar 500w unit with a 38Amp Rail should be good for a single GPU

Here's an Antec 550W unit with 2 30Amp rails and should suffice for any dual GPU setup

If you want something with extra power I have this PSU and i powers my dual gpus my FX-8350 a water pump 4 SATA drives 32GB RAM

Hmm, i'm pretty sure its 18A per rail

Output +3.3V@30A, +5V@30A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2.5A

two 12v rails @ 18A

I'm just not sure it will overlap that well, even the jonnyguru review cited it not cross-loading well, but assuming you can overlap the 12v rails you end up with 36A and this should run his setup fine.

But i doubt their will be any room for upgrading
