what about if I am also thinking about adding another graphics card and more ram in future for now I think that build will suit my needs and thank you for a fast reply.
 
Radeon R9-270X - 24A and a 500W psu minimum recommended (the 24A refers to the 12v rail which powers the cpu and gpu) also fx8320 is a power hungy cpu so you need a quality psu like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 . with 44A on the 12v rail also easily gives you the opportunity of o/c. if you could spend more there are better and more efficient but xfx is a solid - quality unit made by seasonic:) also you brtter go with 2x4gb cause 4gb wont be enough especially for multiplayer games.

thank you for your answer so 650w is fine when i do wanna do cf and for now 550w is fine I like your choices if I went with the 650w now and cf later will it be fine to do so or should i go with 550w till I want to cf?

I would rather get 650w and buy better GPU latter. Some games don't run great with SLI/Crossfire, dual GPU setup generates more heat, draws more power. 650w will give you more headroom for future GPU's

thank you thats exactly what i needed to know 650w it is :) thank you
 
if adding later an other 270x or even upgrade to a better gpu you should buy a 650w from start skip the 550w to save money. also the 650w psu i posted can run easily a single 290x or a 780ti plus o/c
