Hi, I'm about to build my first rig with these planned parts with a few quentions:
CPU: fx-6300 (212 evo)... maybe (overclock??)
GPU: R9 270X (Toxic Boost Edition)
8Gb ddr3
Mobo: I don't really know yet, any suggestions around €50-60? ($70-80)
Case: Fractal Design Core 3000 usb 3.0
1Tb hdd
64gb ssd (suggestions for any particular model?)

But how much wattage would my psu need? Will 500W do the trick? I've got my eye on the Corsair CX500M, but if you think that there are better ones just tell me :) 
Thanks in advance

As Blackbird pointed out, xfx makes great power supplies, and 550w is plenty for that build
