I'm unsure what kind of wattage the 280X needs, but Thermaltake makes terrible power supples, so that one certainly won't be enough.

550W minimum of a quality power supply. AS long the power supply has at least 42 amps on the 12V rails.

This one would be good if have money for it. I wouldn't put the 280x and 8320 with the thermaltake.
