Hey guys,
I'm getting a good offer on this model of the 280x-http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R9280XDC2T3GD5/

However, this is my PSU - http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/thunder/thunder...

Will it be OK?

My CPU will be the FX 6300.
Thanks!

You should be fine, while the PSU you have is not great quality, it will run the R9 280x.

Yes it will work fine. Your current PSU has ample power for such a card. It has 564 Watts/12 Volts= 47 Amps on the 12V rail and the necessary PCI-E power connectors, which is (6+2)x2 pins.
You can try this for better calculations in future:
