Completeing my bulid

I bought Asus z87-pro,I5 4670K,2x2GB Kingston Ram(1600MHz),some Cooler Master power supply,I am not sure which one,on the box write RS-500-PCAP-I3.I am planing to upgrade my GPU and I am thinking about AMD Radeon R9 280 Powercolor TurboDuo 3GB DDR5.I would like to get advice from you guys is it good to buy this GPU with my other hardware,my bugdet is near max for GPU.I would also like to know is it risky to use 500W power supply with that GPU.I am not planing to overclock anything soon untill I get better cooling and power supply.I am also open for any other GPU suggestions

you need 550 watts PSU for R9 280 and 600 Watts PSU for R9 280x.

How much budget do you ?
So we can suggest good GPU for your PC.
(or)

You can get a r9 270x GPU, it will run fine with 500 PSU

Don't get the 4GB model! It is a total waste of money! You'd be better off saving that money and investing in a better PSU (Your current one is poor, not even 80+ certified).

What PSU are you considering? A good brand/model will probably be fine for a 280. You should not skimp on a PSU.
$ gb of ram is ok, but you may want to move to 8 gb total soon.

Yea I know its verry poor,my problem is bugdet,I cannt buy everything at the same time,I currently use Nvidia 9500GT so the first thing I need to buy is GPU,But the prices between those GPUs are not really that big 20-30E +/- is not big problem,I am afraid to buld pc with low power supply and make tottal disaster

2GB GUP will be fine for gaming in 1080p. Get two 2GB rams it will give good performance in gaming.

Very good PSU, maybe more expensive than you need.

I would get the PSU before the GPU, even if you need to wait and save a little.
A good PSU will last you several upgrades down the road. A good investment.

I'd either get a Seasonic or XFX PSU. Both of them make high quality power supplies.
