The Corsair CX600M is a decent unit, or something like an XFX XTR 550W.

I would not recommend non branded power supplies. They usually don't have the same certifications like branded ones do which means they might be less efficient, or worse, they might cause damage to your components. I would spend the little extra to get something like they are recommending.

Also my graphics card says 600W so does that mean i should get a 600+ power supply unit?

A 520W is easily enough for an R9 280 and a locked i5. Take any recommended manufacturers figure with a pinch of salt.

This is what i had in mind, is it alright for my build?

Nope, you won't need any more then a good 500W for that system.

 

Don't get either of those PSUs. The Corsair VS is already pretty crap and anything by Aerocool is likely even worse.

 

If you can stretch your budget a bit consider the Antec Neo Eco 520W. A great Seasonic-made unit, it's the lowest I'd go for a PSU and a great unit for the price in Australia. https://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-neoeco520c

Also will i need a cooler, or is that not needed

 

And is it worth having a case with a psu and spent 100 on that rather than 2 60 dollar pieces?

The cooler will come with a stock item, so you don't need a cooler

 

Don't get cases with PSUs, they are nearly always rubbish

You don't need to buy a cooler the phone comes with one. 

 

Also no don't get cases that come with PSU buy them separately

Thoughts on this build

 

Why'd you switch that r9 280 for a gtx760? The r9 280 is more powerful, and costs less. If you really want a 760 there's the gigabyte one, which only costs $255.

The VS series is even worse than CX, there's no way I'd use that on a build of that type

Get something like this at the very least, that PSU (VS) is poorly built indeed

i5 4670k - Z87X-UD3H - EVGA GTX 670 Sig 2 - Samsung 840 Evo 250GB - 8GB Avexir Core White 1600Mhz - Corsair 750D w/ RGB LED Mod & Remote Control - 2x SP120 - 3x Enermax Cluster - 2TB Seagate SSHD - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 - SuperFlower Leadex Gold 750W

That is better than the VS, but you should really spend more to get something that will last

Do i only need 500 watts or is it 520 or 550. 

 

Soo lsot right now

This alright?

 

For an R9 280 you'll want a high quality 500W. That and the VS are not what I would call high quality PSUs. The EVGA is better then the VS but still mediocre.

 

This is the best choice in the price range. Quality Seasonic-made unit. https://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-neoeco520c
