Both cards are on sale on Amazon, the GTX760 from $260 to $230 and the R9 280x from $434 to $260!!! I was originally planning on getting the GTX760 but now I saw the R9 280x on sale that much! I don't know if I should just go for the R9 280x.

My current system:
+ CPU AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core 3.8GHz (overclocked to 4.5GHz)
+ GPU Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 Ti 1GB
+ RAM Samsung 8GB
+ Motherboard MSI 760GM-P34(FX) (MS-7641)
+ PSU EVGA Bronze 600W (here is the problem)

I checked the requirements for the R9 280x, and I found out that the require PSU is 750W. I don't know if my EVGA 600B can handle that card. Can I use the maximum graphic from that card with this PSU? Please, give your thoughts, which one should I go for with my current system?

Yep, but i probably change to a 750w power supply to have more room and dont push it close to the limits.
I recomment the Seasonic M12II Evo 750W 80 Plus Bronze.

Definitely go with the 280X as it competes with the 770. Will give you better performance than the 760, undoubtly. Also, Sapphire has pretty awesome cooling, so that's always a plus.

I know that the 280x is way better than GTX760, but the problem is my PSU. Can my EVGA Bornze 600W give out enough power to run the 280x at its max?
