Right now I'm using a 600w ATNG ATM-600FB. But I can't seem to find much information about it on google (mostly dimensions). I'm just worried that a new psu won't fit or I won't get one that will be handle to handle all my upgrades. I'm trying to get a 1080 or 1080ti.

I heard corsairs are good but I'm not too sure which one to buy. Will 650w be good enough on a high end PSU or should I go more. I was looking at this PSU.

If you are that worried, simply check the dimensions of the new one compared with the existing one.

I think you would be fine with a 650W, anymore would probably be overkill. Unless you are overclocking of course??

The connectors will be the same on an ATX PSU. Just up to you if you go modular, semi-modular, or hard wire.

If you can budget for it, yes, the Corsair CXM series are good! 650W would be fine for your system, could even go for a 500-550W.
As long as it is an ATX unit, it will be the same dimensions. By looking it up, it seems a straight forward cheap ATX PSU

I'm only worried because the PSU I have right now, seems to be pretty snug in height at the bottom of my computer. I was hoping its not too much higher, but all PSUs look about the same. But I'm also having trouble calculating what wattage I can get away with. I got 3 120mm fans, h60 corsair Liquid cooling, 12gbs of DDr3ram @1600, GTX1080, 1 SSD, 1 TB HDD and an i7 4600 I believe at full load I should be getting around 500w yes?

I believe all the connectors should be about the same too yes? I don't have anything unique that needs power to it.
