So my birthday will be coming up soon. I'm hoping to be able to upgrade my PSU so I can upgrade my graphics card later on. My specs are as follows:
Intel i7 2600 Processor @3.40GHz
8GB Ram
1TB HDD
Nvidia GT 530 OC
400 watt PSU

As you can see my graphics card isn't too great compared to my CPU which is excellent. So i'm looking for a good PSU for $60. I'm hoping to be able to upgrade around the GTX 560 to 680. I doubt i'll be able to get the 780. I did find a Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt for $57 on Amazon.
I'm assuming it would suffice?

Thanks for the info on the GTX cards! If I am able to purchase a 680 i'll look into a 770 instead. I'll probably get a 650 at the least. Anyways, some of the deals won't work for me. My birthday is on October 13 so the rebate stuff that will expire before then won't really work for me. Also, I don't know how long those promo codes will last. How good is a PSU on the link I supplied? Anymore suggestions?

The power supply you provided meets the minimum requirements for running a 770 or a 780 so it should work fine EDIT[strike]although you are on the minimum. , so if you do go with a 770 or a 780 you might want to get a slightly higher wattage just to play it safe. [/strike]EDIT

--Edit-- I think you should be fine with that PSU.

--Edit (again)-- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096 For 5$ more dollars you could get a SeaSonic PSU which is higher quality than the one you selected, but you don't necessarily need to.
