hey guys after looking at all the available options and getting a few suggestions here at tomshardware i've decided to go with this build

intel i5 4690
asus h97 pro
sapphire r9 270x vapor x
gskill 1600Mhz 2x4gb
seagate barracuda sv35 1TB
samsung 840 evo 120GB
CM hyper 212X

i have an Antec basiq 550w psu. my question is will this be able to run these components without any issue.
and just because i didnt want to create a new thread i would also like to ask can my amd fx6300 play league of legends with the above configuration (instead of going with intel build) (and this cpu is 2 years old) and also can it be used to play recent games like BF4 or watchdogs though i dont play them as often as LoL and also would play them at medium.
do i have to change my cpu or should i stick to the one which i have ( 6300). in which case i would change my motherboard :) 

if the mentioned psu is not sufficient to run these components then i would like to know which is the better one: corsair cs750m or rm 750.
ps: this computer will be shared by me and my room mate ( i have a new rig with me now, built a couple days back (intel platform) )

Well your computer will run with the psu u got now but if u are keeping the amd cpu id get the corsair rm750 for more stability and for longer lifetime and yes u can run current games

I run a 280x on a XFX 550W so your PSU is more than enough for 270x
