I've got a friend who recently has his PSU die. He has a budget of $100 AUD and can only buy from this store http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf. He runs a 2nd/3rd gen i5 and has a gtx 560 right now. He is planning to upgrade to a new Nvidia card in the next year and a half. What would be the best PSU to buy from that list?
Thanks in advance

a 550W can handle a 1080, my system has a 550W and a hd6950 which is a hungrier card than the 1080.
the gtx 560 consumes roughly the same power as a gtx 1080 (1A less)
if he has more funds he can get the same model in a higher wattage, the CX650M or the HCG 620W
nvidia calls for a gtx1080 to have at least a 500W, and that is a overestimation just to be safe.

Would they be able to run the 560, and what current gpu could they run from the current series?
