Will the Cooler Master Thunder 600w run well with an FX8320 and an R9 280x? Other specs: 2x4gb DDR3, 2 hdds, 1 dvdrw, 3 fans (two are leds).

Yes it will work fine. Although cooler master aren't known for their PSUs that much when contending with other brands out there, still their PSUs are solid i would say. I used to own a 650 W cooler master one before i switched to corsair 750tx one.

Your current PSU has ample power for such a card:
http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/thunder/thunder-600w/ is that the one you're talking about bro?
If so, then it has 564 Watts/12 Volts= 47 Amps on the 12V rail and the necessary PCI-E power connectors, which is (6+2)x2 pins.
