So over the next month I am thinking about getting a GTX 1080

I currently have a corsair CX600 power supply. Should I get something higher quality? If yes, what are some good quality PSUs that won't be 100+ USD.

Currently have:
I5-4690k (No OC)
Asus ROG Maximus VII hero Mobo
16GB DDR3
128 GB SSD
1TB HDD
GTX 970
And of course, a CX600

Thanks for all help :)

If it has green letters, they are not too good. Have you had any issues? How old is your PSU?

This one is good. You could probably do just fine with the 520W, but this one is on sale for the moment

Yes it has green letters.
This is the PSU: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

It's about 2.5 years old and I have had no issues.
I have heard bad things about this series of PSUs and I just don't want it to end up bricking a 500$ Graphics card.

Thanks for recommendation though. If I end up buying a new supply I will most likely get that one.
