Ummmm i probobly will need to upgrade it based on the things people told me but i'm gonna ask it anyways just to be sure i'm not waisitng money. By the way i know NOTHING about PSU's


I'm planning to buy a GTX 1070
So my specs will be:

CPU: i5-4590
RAM: 8GB (2X4)
GPU: GTX 1070
Hard drive: ASUS DRW 24D3ST 1TB
SSD: Corsair force lx 240gb
Windows 10 64 bit

Currently i am using a r9 280x and it works fine!

I've also been thinking to upgrade to the "Antec 550W 80+ Platinum EA-550"
Is it any good?

Yeah it's good but I'd rather have a modular power supply for that price. Sorry, I was thinking more of the CX500 since that was in your title, yes the Antec is good but I think there are better options for the money, like the Corsair RM550x. The Corsair uses higher quality caps and is DC-DC design instead of group regulated. It's better all around. The Antec just doesn't compete in today's market anymore.

It's hard for me to find these power supplys here in my country and if i order it from amazon i'll have to play 60 dollars for shipping...
But one of my friends recommended me the "Corsair 600W 80+ Gold SF600 SFX"
They do sell it here in my country but is it any good?
