Here are my specs:

CPU: fx8350 stock speed
GPU: XFX r9 280x stock speed
MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming
HDD: 1TB Seagate
SSD: Corsair 128GB LX
DVD player
Fan Controller
7 fans

Currently i have 1 r9 280x, but im planning to get another one and was wondering 850w is enough.

specifically, an EVGA 850w PSU bronze

Yes more than enough. A 750W is the minimum for a R9 280X Crossfire. And the 850W will also be enough when you overclock the CPU.

Yes, I've got the XFX 850 Pro Black Ed. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B88Z0LM and Crossfired two R9 280X's with no problem. I've even had my whole system overclocked with plenty of power to spare.
