I'm wondering if my Cooler Master i500 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply can run with Asus Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card.
Here are my specs.
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Rosewill Line Glow ATX Mid Tower Case
Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
 
Solution
The 280X peaks around 230W and the rest of your system should use less than 100W so 500W should be more than enough.

On the other hand, many CoolerMaster model series barely get passable grades. At a glance, the i500 does not appear to be from CM's better series so it might be a problem or become one later.
