I saved my money to upgrade my GPU but I don't know if I have to upgrade my PSU too... Any ideas?
 
Solution
A Radeon R9-280 needs 25 amps on the 12v+ rail and a 500 watt power supply with 2 - PCIE power connections , your PSU exceeds these specs.

No upgrade needed the CX600 can run that card.

Your fine the CX600 can easily run your specs. :D
How old is it? The Corsair "CX" line is built with some inferior Samxon capacitors that cannot take heat. They degrade rapidly, and from technical-reviewer remarks, may fail in as little as a year.
When new, the answer is "yes," but how long it will last will depend in part on whether or not it gets a decent amount of air through it for cooling.

Well, I bought it 1/2 year ago. It's a "Corsair 600 W Builder Cmpsu-600cx V2". Is it too old?
