Best solution
The GPU needs to fit in your case and have a suitable PSU - 600W, good quality.
You need a custom cooler and a good motherboard to be able to overclcok the cpu.
I suggest you just try the fx6300 without overclocking. Only if you feel you need to overclock it, then make sure you've got a good (eg 990fx) motherboard and good cooler. Alternatively, get a fx8320 which won't need overclocking.

i would get hyper 212evo it's cheap and do a little overclock, it's easy
and not harmfullit won't bottleneck r9280x (meaning r9 280x will reach its 100% full power), but however the higher the cpu speed the better the card will be paired with...
Will the Coolermaster Hyper 103 RR-H103-22PB-R1 CPU Cooler do?

@Proofy, I would argue that there are some aftermarket coolers that are worse than the stock coolers for AMD cpus.
@Op, I suggest getting a xfx 550w over the CX 600w. I advise against CX series PSUs for AMD CPUs unless theres <150w headroom or something, some of the capacitors are lower quality and will not handle as well under stress. The CX series is one of the more problematic series out of Corsair's psu lineup. The 600w unit will still work in your system. If you're not overclocking the system shouldn't pull more than 450w...

Yes Calnin you're right but 90% of them are better than the stock ones...
jr74752 if you didn't buy that motherboard and PSU yet I would suggest you to buy one of these 3 motherboards if you plan to overclock CPU
ASRock 990FXExtreme9, Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0, Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (buy the cheapest one because they are all good and very close performance)
and I agree with Calnin with the PSU, i don't like corsairs CX series either, they are poorly made... Would go with xfx/seasonic/evga/rosewill < any of them 4 over corsairs CX

The ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 is not a very good motherboard. The 780 chipset was replaced with the 87, 88, 97 now the 990fx chipset. It only has 4+1 power phase - not good for overclocking. It doesn't have heatsinks on the VRM - again, not good for overclocking. In fact you have to have a custom cooler to even try.
The Corsair CX are a tier 3 PSU. Tiers 1, 2a and 2b are recommended. The 600CX itself has had numerous problems reported here including poor voltage control due to the use of cheap capacitors and also its 24 pin motherborad connector has soemtimes been impossible to fit due to the poorly moulded connector.

Cheapest motherboard for overclocking: Gigabyte 970A ud3p <<< http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970...
Your motherboard will support the CPU if you're not overclocking though.
