That GPU is overkill for 1600x900 and that PSU does seem low with 385w for the 12v rails. Does it have the right power connectors?
my PSU is 6 pin, the gtx1080 is 8 pin
would i maybe need something like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-80-plus-600w-atx-12v-eps-12v-power-supply-black/8511029.p?skuId=8511029&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=beb69d59-d8b4-4b5d-95f4-900a9db34453&ksprof_id=8&ksaffcode=pg199014&ksdevice=c&lsft=ref:212,loc:2
it has 2x 6+2 pci

As has been said a gtx 1060 will just max any game at that resolution.
I'm fairly certain your 3450 would also hold a 1080 back somewhat.
That psu is an acbel unit & pretty poor , I'd change it no matter what you decide to do on the GPU front.

3450 will hold back the GTX1080 in CPU intensive titles.
For 1600x900 I would go with a GTX 1060, and at most GTX 1070.
