run the "80" cards?

like the 680.780,1080?

 

[texintaco]

i currently have a cs450m and i live in NZ so XFX and other brands like that are very hard to come buy

specs
i5 6400
8gb ram
128gb ssd

Yes, it's a good power supply. Not top of the line like be quiet!'s Dark Power series, but it's certainly better than your current PSU. You, shouldn't have any problems running a 1080, 980, 780, etc.

You can also refer to the PSU Tier list, to see if other high quality PSU's are available in your area.

With power delivery? No, same platform, same performance.

That Fractal Design would also be a good choice

okay, but im looking for 600 watts cause that means i can run basically any GPU, and im frequently looking at the powerful 500 and 600 series cards

so do you think i should get the cm? im building in a mid-tower case

 

[Silverbear]

Sure, go for it, modular PSU's always make life a little easier

also, do you think i should save to upgrade to a 470 OR buy the PSU and get a 680 for the same price.
I have a 1080p 60Hrtz monitor and want best performance possible

Definitely save for the RX 470, it's MUCH better than the GTX 680 in every way

yea, but not necessarily a 580, as in a better upgrade path because the best GPU for a 450w is 1060, and i would love to get a 1070. and it means i can get older cards

 

[Silverbear]

You can buy an older graphics card for now, if you really need one and can get a good deal. The 680 will still let you play most games at decent settings, my GTX 660 that I use in an HTPC setup for the family runs Tomb Raider 2013 on high settings with a mostly solid 60fps. So it's up to you 580 < 680 < RX 470 < 1070

so should i get the Psu and get the 470? it sets me back 1 month of saving or go straight for the RX 470?

PSU and 470

You should always get a good power supply first to protect your other components
