VS series is ultral low budget series. The kind of PSU's for which the "minimum requirements" are set up for. Since the minimum requirements of r9 280x is 550W, I would go with the vs650.
If it were an XFX 550W or Rosewill capstone 550W, I would have happily recommended you to go ahead. But this is corsair VS series, considered poor than even the CX series. So better go with the VS 650.
I think You are from India. vs 650 is available @ RS 4000 on flipkart. (app).
