I currently have a 600w power supply but its not certified or anything (seems like a cheapo to me)

but it has worked fine for the past year. getting a new gpu dat requires 8pin and dis psu only has 1 6pin so i thought y not upgrade. im not looking for more wattage necessarily i just want a certified psu that isnt above 60$ usd and can handle my new rig:

fx-6300 oc'd @ 4.2
rx 480 (havent ordered yet but will be either msi or ROG Strix)
Gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 mobo / 8gb ram
1tb HDD
and a DVD drive if dat matters xD

thanks for your help :)

I'm a fan of Corsair HX/HXi and AX/AXi series, but check this list for an appropriate PSU for your need/budget...

Understanding your budget, please note that although the least sexy component of the PC, it is arguably the most important for long-term reliability. You will see many issues reported here on Tom's forums due to failed/failing PSUs, so do weigh that in your consideration.
