I've recently bought a Cooler Master GX650W 80+ bronze smps and saving some bucks for buying a fx 8350 and asus r9 280x dc2top 3gb,just i want to make sure if my psu is sufficient enough for them or i have to look for any corsair/seasonic PSU.

A poor choice.

Cooler Master GX-650 650 Failed efficiency rating. Failed load testing. Medicore voltage regulation. Poor DC output quality on 3.3V rails. Outdated design.

Go XFX or Seasonic , both are Seasonic.

Seasonic supplies are way better than Cooler Master , the only good power supplies from Cooler Master are the V700,850, and 1000w , which are made by SEASONIC.

The Cooler Master is more than powerful enough to support that build.

Out of curiosity, the way you worded your post makes it seem you think Corsair/Seasonic offer better power supplies than Cooler Master? That's actually not true. I know that for whatever reason Corsair branded products are the most popular, but they've had serious quality control issues for years, and still do to this day. It's just a bandwagon brand really. As for PSUs, Corsair has nearly a 30% higher RMA rate than Cooler Master. The RMA rate on Corsair's RAM is more than double Crucial's, and over 5 times higher than Kingston's. I guess their heatsinks are prettier? I dunno...
