I'm hyped for the new GTX 1080 but I'm not sure that my PSU is good enough. It's a Corsair GS600, which I believe is 80+ Bronze. I also have 16GB RAM, 2 SSDs and a HDD as well as other small things drawing power. I heard that it draws next to no power but I'm still skeptical as my PSU isn't very good. Thanks!
Will my PSU handle a GTX 1080?

There's far too much misinformation right now. Seems like a lot of people skipped math class...
What are you upgrading from, and why on earth would you be willing to pay 599 dollars for a 1080, when a 980 Ti is better, and cost less?
I think people forgot that GPU's are improved by roughly 10% each year, forget about NVIDIA's claims, completely. They would be making the biggest business decision if they did that, of course they are using skewed graphics to fool the unaware...
The 980 Ti is 50% ahead of the 980 in DX11, now NVIDIA are using DX12 for whatever reason in their "claims", and they're claiming a ~70% increase over the 980, which is realistic considering the MSRP, and the current price of the 980. But they're not honest about it, they specifically say performance and power consumption, they don't tell us the FPS or anything. Welcome to marketing.
All the best!

The NVIDIA's released MSRP for the 1080 is 599 (600) dollars.
To get the UK MSRP we take that and convert it to pund we get £414, however in EU there is mandatory 20% VAT on electronics,
1.2 * 414 = 496
They are about on par with eachother, considering the 980 Ti is £500.
I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers from.
Wouldn't surprise me if the MSRP is higher than 414, considering the 980 Ti started at roughly £530.

Source? I searched OCUK site, they only list US price.
No, your power supply isn't a very good one.
If they mark it up that high, then add VAT on to that, more expensive than a brand new GTX 980 Ti.
Know what most people are going to do? Sell their 980 Ti's, so grab one for cheap used.
