Hey guys, I'm building a PC, an i3 4150 and a Amd r9 280, can I settle with a 500w power supply? I've been to various sites for PSU wattage but I wanted to know your opinions.

Yep. Intel is generally pretty good on power consumption, so you'll be fine.

You're totally fine on wattage. The i3 uses 54 watts under load and, unless you're on an overclocked Titan, you won't be breaching the 500 Watts with a single GPU setup even if it's overclocked.
