I am running a FX-8320E. I've read that at stock with boost clock this CPU will eat up about 150-160 watts.
I just bought a Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X Tri-X gpu (the blue one with 3 fans). Overclockers has found that it consumes around 300 watts at full load stock settings.
I have an EVGA 500 w 80+ PSU. Will this be enough if I remove Boost from both the CPU (4.0 -> 3.2ghz) and GPU (1100mhz -> 1000mhz)?
