I have an Antec 550w 80+ that i have for 2 years now. It never gave me problem in that time period. Currently i have an AMD HD 7850 XFX and thinking of upgrading to r9 280x, will my power supply suffice the need?
*not planning to overclock anything*

Current PC Specs:
AMD FX 8350 (Stock Speed)
AMD XFX 7850 1GB Core Edition
16 Gigabyte RAM Crucial Ballistix Sport (4x4)
Antec 550w 80+

PSU:

Im in a tight budget so it would be great if i dont have to upgrade my PSU, but if i must i will consider. I will mostly be playing BF4.

On amd website it says that R9 280X needs 750w PSU, although i think with nice 650w you can run it.
