Personally, have had good experience with CorsairAX/Season X series (750 - 850W) and Antec HCP Platinum 1kW, but that is a bit of an overkill for your R9 280X, unless you can get a really good deal on it or you are planning on pushing your system with a heavy workload/OC.

The recommended min wattage necessary for the r9 280x is 750w so I'm trying to get something around 800W just to be safe. My budget is around $100 USD. I can go a little above that but I'm kinda stretching my budget into the red at this point.
