These are the specs if you want to see how much load will be on PSU:-

Monitor: SAMSUNG S22B300 1080P
CPU: CORE i5-2500K (At least 4ghz @all cores)
Cooler: HYPER 212+
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z77x-UD3H 1.1
Memory: XMS3 2X2 GB 1600-MHZ
GPU: MSI R9 280x OC (When it arrives nearly 8 days left until delivery)
HDD: SP C70 120GB SSD + WD BLUE 500GB HDD
Chassis: THERMALTAKE V3
Soundcard: BUILT-IN
Optical drive: DVD READ + WRITE

Suggest me the best PSU that I can get @ Amazon only within $85
I want the PSU to be Single 12V rail and has the best quality for the given budget range.
And PS where I live, I get a $80 product nearly as $110
And also adding that all the PSU will take a month to deliver to my place, but corsair GS600 and GS700 ($80 and $100 respectively) are available here at authorized local store which I can readily go and pick up.
Thanks :)

Look at something on the psu tier list here on thw.

Look for something 500w+ with the connectors necessary for the 280x.

Thanks for the fast response mates :) 
Yes this is a plus point that the GS600 is available here locally with warranty but I heard that they are not so good, like they are average, actually I am replacing my thermaltake litepower 600w for a new one, the XFX you stated, I like it very much but don't you think that its got quite old now?
Is it worth spending this much on this one:-

I can get the GS600 at $80 and this Capstone 650w at $110, I just want to know that which is more solid and last "LONGER" and will be loyal and stable to my system :p  and I do consider that I really don't care about the efficiency as long as it is 80+ Bronze .....

Does GS600 has good quality solid caps...? I have heard somewhere that gs600 and gs700 are totally different, it is said that GS600 is better than GS700, are they made by different manufacturers....?

^^ is this worth considering, actually I saw that it has many various types of protection like over and under volt/current protection and I need these protections as my first priority and I will sped my every penny on a component that comes protected from these electricity variations, do you recommend it? Does it have more protection then Capstone...?
sorry if I am disturbing you again and again, actually I live in a area where electricity is not upto par so I am confused either to spend that much on a good psu like the evga one, but if a psu comes with that extreme sort of protection then I will surely buy it
Thanks for your replies bro :)

Just wanted to ask a final simple question:-
Do you have any idea that which psu will me more safe interms of protections like over and under voltages/amperes .....? Because the country in which I live, a bit of energy crisis is there in summers and the lights frequently goes off, Though I have a delayer/timer installed for safety, any way have you any idea that which one will be killer in terms of safety because If I am spending this much on a PSU then I expect it to last as I would not be able to claim their warranty if bad luck happens:-

Which one:-

Cooler master V series

Rosewill Capstone series

Or GS600 (I will be able to claim the warranty of this one because it is available in my country locally, other ones, i will have to import them from USA (Amazon) to Asia)

or EVGA Supernova that I like very much
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-80PLUS-Certified-1...
^^ it is stated that it has over/under voltage/current and short circuit protection, I know all of the above ones will have these protections also but maybe any ONE of them does its best....?

I will be very very Thankful to you :)
