So i'm building my pc this summer. specs:

i5-4590 (non-k)
r9 280x
h97m pro4 (maybe going to crossfire with this later down the road)
500w or 550w corsair cx (builder) 80+ bronze PSU
1x8gb of ram ( WILL BE UPGRADING TO 16 SONN ENOUGH)
a corsair spec-02 case
1tb cavier blue hdd


So I was wondering if a 500w/550w psu will be good for the 280x. The pcpartpicker.com website says its going to be ok (373w max)

Btw feel free to give me some extra advice.(pls no amd cpus)

BTW if I crossfire im going to buy a new psu obviusly... :D

Thanks! But the thing I want to know is will the cx500w will be good enough? And is crossfiring those 2 cards even worth it (keeping in mind that I'm going to buy a new psu)???
