Currently I have Thermaltake's 750 Watt 80+ Bronze PSU with Asus Direct CuII R9280X, I'm gonna buy XFX's R9 280X (bc i cant find asus anywhere) so my question is, will my PSU be enough, I can upgrade it after a month, but it would be cool if I can use R9 280X CF with Fx8350 (no OC) with that PSU.

Bonus Q: What will happen if my PSU cant cut? Will it damage my components?
 
Solution
Unless it is from the 'Toughpower' series, The Thermaltake is not up to the job. The quality is below what is acceptable for a gaming system. You should have a high quality 850 watt PSU from XFX, EVGA or Antec. If you plan on overclocking get nothing less than 1KW. Use your current PSU at your discretion.
