Yeah, it's a great quality PSU, It's made by a top notch manufacturer 'Seasonic'. I'm not sure about heavy overclocking though.

Yes, more than enough +12v amps(48) for that system(needs 30 +12v amps), and OC if you wish.

I just found out a cheaper PSU: Cooler Master GX II 650W 80 Plus Bronze. It can save me 20 bucks. Should I choose the CM GX II or stick with the Seasonic one? Which one is better?

you will be fine but if your trying to get 1.2ghz out of the 280x.... and trying to push that 8320 upwards of 4.8ghz... i might start running into power lag issues.

Stick with the seasonic, more realiable parts.

cooler master psu do not suck. people blindly say they suck all day long. fact of the matter is their cx line is by far the best selling power supply. many tens of thousands of reviews from different sites give great ratings, and the only ones that are bad is either your average doa or user idiocy. budget builds and guides use them all day long.

Coolermaster doesn't have a cx line. Corsair has a cx line.
And many of CM's series are poor. They have 11 models on johnnylucky.org's Lemon List.
There are a couple silent pro models that are good, and the three new V series are excellent,
but no cx series.
