I currently run a Gigabyte GTX 660 Windforce along with a AMD FX-8350 and a Corsair VS450 PSU.

In a few days I am getting a GTX 1080 Windforce, I have seen a few articles/threads that say this PSU is enough for this sort of setup, but it's recommended to upgrade to something better as soon as possible.
In a month or two time I plan on upgrading my PSU to a Corsair CX650 and a Carbide 100R case. Until that point when I am able to do/afford that will my system be okay.

Thank you in advance, any questions to help you are always welcome

You can hit spikes above 300W with the 1080. Just wait. You'll be even sorrier if you break your new GPU for lack of a good PSU.
