HI guys! Im currently running these
amd FX6300 cpu
asus M5A97 LE R2.0 mobo
sapphire dual x r9 270x 2gb gpu
seasonic 520w bronze psu
1tbWD HDD
stock cooler
cougar challenger case
1 240mm led fan, 3 120mm led fans

and I was wondering if I should get an 850w psu. I'm thinking of buying an NZXT 410/530 case and also a 120gb ssd and a 3tb HDD. Also around 2 more 120/140mm led fans within the year. Maybe also an upgrade to an 8350 for next year. Should I go for the 850w psu or just buy a 650/750w one? (won't be upgrading the GPU for atleast a couple more years. running this on 1 1080p monitor, planning to buy another 1080p one next year w/ the 8350) and what psu brand do you suggest buying?

I suggest a 750W PSU like an EVGA B2 or G2 750W.
This will give you plenty of OC headroom with an 8350 and will also allow you to upgrade your graphics card later on. :)

^ That's why I suggest the B2 or G2. They are both modular, the G2 is fully modular.
They're the cheapest and best in their price range, but XFX PSUs are also good. :)

Guys we don't have EVGA PSUs here in the PH, the only good ones I see are corsair, xfx, and seasonic. I'm looking at the 750,850RMs, AXs in corsair, the M12-850, and the x-750 from seasonic, and the 850 xxx from xfx

XFX core editions are made by seasonic, they are very good units and excellent value.

I use an XFX core 750 and would not hesitate to recommend them :)

AXs in corsair, the M12-850, and the x-750 from seasonic, and the 850 xxx from xfx < All great choices , don't buy RM series from Corsair , use poor caps.
