MSI recommends a 500W minimum power supply to function correctly.

Depending on the age of your PSU you should be fine.

your evga 500b has a 12v rail of 40A and the pcie power cables needed (1x6+2 and 1x6) to run a system with r9 280 . your psu exceeds that gpu recommendation of about 10A.

I had it about a month, my first Gpu failed after about 2 days so I'm looking into getting a new one
