Adding extra ram will BARELY use any extra power, so all the units suggested will be fine. ;)

If you don't plan on overclocking anything, this one should do nicely: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=59615&promoid=1303 This XFX unit is manufactured bt Seasonic, so it is of great quality. :) 

If you want a bit more headroom for overclocking then this unit should suit you very well: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=52174 Seasonic S12II-620 620w

no i dont plan to overclock but will it get good fps and will it allow to upgrade ram in future?

A power suply has no effect on frame rates. It is either capable of providing enough power to components and you get the same performance out of any of them or it is not and you get random crashes, reboots, display corruption and various other issues.

RAM only uses 2-3W per DIMM so it is pretty much inconsequential for PSU selection.

A PSU has nothing to do with FPS in games.
GPU and CPU are the ones that matter.The stronger the pair,the more FPS you get.
And yes,you can upgrade your RAM in the future as well as upgrade your card.

The Seasonic one is top quality,while the others are great too.
They definitely won't cause any reboots or stuff like that.
And yes,it is compatible with your build. -_-

Both are extremely good quality.
Seasonic is a manufacturer which makes top of the line PSUs when it comes to quality.Seasonic also makes the XFX PSUs,so they're great quality too.
You can't go wrong with either of them.

The XFX 550 can easily run a 280x.

A Radeon R9-280X needs 30amps on the 12v + rail and at least 550 watt power supply with 1 - 6 PIN and 1 - 6+2 pin PCIE power connections.

The XFX more than meets these requirements.

Agree, not sure why Sapphire advertises this as needing a 750 :(

but why the sapphire website is saying that 750w psu is required for r9 280x (btw i m not doing any overclocking)

All GPU manufacturers grossly overstate their cards' requirements because there are tons of sub-par PSUs in the wild that cannot reliably deliver more than about half their stickers' ratings.

Even the R9-290X only peaks at 350W. Add 150W for a typical worst-case for the rest of the system, you get 500W. Add a 50% safety margin on top of that, you get 750W.
