is 600W (Corsair CX600) enough to for sapphire R9 280?
im using i5 4690k (none overclocked) on Asus Z97 motherboard and 2x1TB HDD and 2x 120mm Fans and a CPU Liquid cooler (CM Seidon 120V V2) and an SSD
also another important question, i know GTX 960 performs better than a R9 280, but is it worth paying 40$ more for a 2GB GTX 960 than a R9 280 3GB? and is it a good upgrade from asus HD 7850 DCU2 VER2 to Sapphire R9 280 or GTX 960?
thanks

Naw, a R9 280 is a 7950 rebranded; you won't see a HUGE increase in performance.
Honestly the R9 390 is a beast, i just got one and it blows my crossfired 6850's out of the water.

The TDP for the R9 280 is actually a bit lower than your 7850 i believe; so it wouldn't be a problem.
If you wanted to go for a more substantial upgrade though you'd probably be better off looking at a bigger power supply, but it could be fine - you're right on the edge.
