Okay, this is short as I am on mobile, so I will comment full specs In the morning. I haven't found a decent reply to what im looking for. I have had a corsair builder cxm 500w for like 4 months and I might be getting the msi r9 280x for Christmas.
I am asking if it will run it as I dont really want to buy a new psu as I will not be able to affors the gpu.

Its kinda pushing it, maybe push for a 600 watt. I could check for sure if you post your entire build.
