The stock PSU is not any good , in fact its crap.

Buy a Solid 550W Unit from XFX or 520 W from Seasonic or Antec and that should do the job.

If it came with the case it's most likely garbage and should not be used to power a 280x.

use this tier list to guide you with buying a psu for the system
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supp...
basically you want something tier 3 and better..
a proper 500 watt should just barely do it so a 550 or 600 watt should
a much better choice .. here is a better choice that is inexpensive and reliable enough for the system

I have the Sapphire R9 280x Toxic with a Corsair CX 600M PSU.

With this I have little power left. I am unable to overclock my CPU due to this (unexpected shutdowns).

The PSU you mentioned isn't very good. I would recommend a 600 watt from a reliable brand such a Seasonic just to be sure.
