Seasonic S12II 520w for GTX 980

[Poyoxar]

I'm buying a gtx 960 and a psu, but I want that psu to last for years.
So I thought of buying the PSU from the title, but if in the future for example, I decide to buy a gtx 980 I want my psu to run it.
My PC specs are:
i7 4770
8gb RAM
Asus H81M mb

If it can't I thought of a 600w evga bronze

Thanks

In the title you say GTX 980 but here you say GTX 960. Which is it?

Yes, 520w would be enough for that configuration even with gtx 980.

Don't buy a 600B , they are very poor quality , go for the Seasonic S12II 520w.

Their only about 45 watts difference in the 2 cards it will work just fine.

The Seasonic PSU will run a GTX980 and a locked i7 4770.

I read and heard good reviews good reviews about 600B, I know inside is not japanese material, don't know if it's a great difference, but if you say the quality isn't good I believe you. And what about Thermaltake atx Smart 550w (80+ Bronze), is it good and would run fine with the gtx 980??

Here's our thinking on PSUs http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

For a high-performance system used for gaming, the main capacitors of the PSU need to be especially robust. GPUs sometimes need more power than the PSU can deliver and it gets the extra from the PSU's capacitors. This constant stressing of capacitors can cause power supplies with lower performance parts to fail early, even if well made or very efficient.

Anything made by HEC and FSP in the EVGA lineup , you should steer clear from.

Ok, so now my question is, should I buy a psu like Xfx Ts-550w or seasonic s12ii 520w? Or should I buy a seasonic m12ii 620w for it to run with a GPU like Gtx980 two years from now?
