I'm overclocking and upgrading to a better GPU in a year or so. Why is this PSU bad?

what is your current system and what gpu are you planning to upgrade to? Even a 980ti+i7 only consumes 500 or so watts from a nice quality power supply from tier one in the list above.

FSP is a source manufacturer for a number of oem power supplies.
I would not classify them as bad, but I think there are a good number of tier 1 or 2 units out there that can be bought for a similar or lesser price.
Look for Seasonic, XFX, Antec for starters.

A GTX980ti can run on 600w, 550w with a good quality psu.
I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

So interest of the fsp raider should I get the seasonic g series 650 watt gold?

That would probably be my top pick also.
You are good.
