R7 250 has been reported to run off cheap 250W PSU's, so I should believe you should be fine.

Straight from out trusted site using 250W PSU's.

Though eventually, upgrade your PSU.

You really need to upgrade your PSU as 280watt is really low, get a good 450watt PSU and then take any decent GPU #MyOpinion

it should be able to hold everything with a 280W PSU, though eventually upgrade it to something like a corsair CX 430.
