Here is my current setup:

- XFX 550W
- R9 280x Sapphire Toxic OC
- FX-8350
- ASUS M5A97
- 2x 2gb DDR3 1333mhz rams + 1x 4gb DDR3
- CM Hyper 212 Plus with 1 fan installed.
- 1 fan at the back of the case

Now i was considering a GPU upgrade but i changed my mind as upgrades are either not worth it or way too expensive so i decided i'll invest in cooling and OC what i have and was looking at a NZXT case wich will add probably 3-4 fans and maybe something like an H100 for my CPU, so my question here is pretty clear as i know my PSU is already near it's limit will it take all the extra fans and cooler or will i have to invest in a better PS?

I will eventually get a PSU upgrade anyway i just wanted if it could be delayed with these upgrades but i'll take it from your answer an H100 might push it to the limit? would you recommend a less power consuming cooler then?

Also about power supplies i cant seem to find the model you mentioned here however at this range there is a HEC Cougar 700w, Cooler Master G-Series 700w(i heard CM PSUs are trash), Corsair VS650M.

My budget is around $300 for the upgrades and i initially planned a decent cooler, good case, very good power supply and i was trying to delay the PSU and put the money in the cooler.
