So, i decided to build a gaming pc on a budget, heres my specs: CPU FX 6300 (supposed to overclock to around 4.5)
GPU: Sapphire R9 280X(Also planning on OC)
Motherboard:
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1T
Hyper 212 EVO Cpu cooler

And what i want to know is what kind of power supply do i need to support the build... i tought about buying the Cx600W at first but someone told me it was too weak, so now i am more inclined to the
XFX P1-750S-NLB9 Core Edition, please let me know what you think i should do..

Thanks

It's not that the Corsair CX600 is weak as in low powered (it has enough wattage), the CX models, Corsair's "Builder Series" are entry level PSU's that use cheaper components than a "stronger" PSU. The XFX 550 should be enough (unless considering X-Fire in the future, then 750W or higher)

Minimum PSU for an r9 280x is 750w i believe so i would go with that since your whole build will probably run at like 300-400w + OC you should be fine
