Hey again fellas I'm building this for about 650euros
i3 4160
xfx R9 280x Black edition
Gigabyte H97 HD3
550W SuperFlower 80 Gold
2x4gb Ram
case zalman z11 plus

After 1 month of reading about specs i decided to stick with this
My goal is after some years to geta an i5 5th Gen and OC the current GPU
the Question is, Will this PSU will be enough?
At the moment the sapphire r280x tri force is at the same pricd with the xfx black edit. Heard that the triforce is a bit better but way too much powerconsuming?
I was waiting for the gtx960 but i guess it won't be worth it, it will be at the same price with the 280x and lower Performance..

Absolutely fine, GPU is fine aswell really. How much will you be paying for the 550w Superflower? And yeah, the GTX 960 has 2gb vram compared to the 3gb vram the r9 280x has. It's a card that handles most games at 1080p @ 60 fps so It's all you need really.
