So this is my specs
AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.1GHz
AMD Radeon R9 280x 3gb
A780LM-M2 motherboard
NAXN 500w ENP500AGT
8 gigs ddr3 ram
2 hard drives
1 additional fan

So I know that isn't something but better than nothing. I am wondering if that PSU will do the job. btw nothing is overclocked.

Yeah i won't oc but i just installed the drivers and got into BF Hardline and looks like everything is good! But i am worried if psu is under too much load and will fail but it shouldn't though.

Well, i upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM and i previously had a R9 270x and a different 500w supply(unbranded one) and it wouldn't start it so i bought this one and it ran fine(because the store manager where i bought the card from said that the new 500W PSU will be enough). So I was worried will it run my new R9 280x. Oh, and also i now have two RAM sticks, one is 1600 MHz and another one is 1333 MHz but they both run on 1333 MHz which is fine and expected. :)
