Hey, I am going to buy a new GPU, and I was looking at the 280x. I want to upgrade from my old HD4870 1GB.

My PSU is a NOX Urano 600W (+12V1 23A, +12V2 22A)
My CPU: i5 3570K (Won't overclock until I get a new mobo)
RAM: 8GB Kingston HyperX blu

With these specs, will my PSU be enough or should I get a new PSU? If so, which one would you recommend for a good price/quality ratio?

Thank you in advance.

Thats a pretty weak 12v rail. With a strong one it would be no problem, but with this i doubt it. If i were you i'd buy a new 700 to 750W that is a good one. I suggest something like a 650W xfx pro, thry are pretty cheap yet very good

I've also never heard of that brand. Try something like a Corsair CX750M. $60 right now and it's semi-modular! I can't wait to get rid of my non-modular PSU.
