I'm stuck between the GTX 960 and R9 280X, one of my friend said get the gtx 970! and some said get the 960 and in the future, sli another 960 and same logic applied to r9 280x.

You have enough wattage but you are taking a risk by using that PSU for gaming. It really isn't built for it.

CX PSUs are Tier 4: "Tier Four

Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.
