Should I upgrade my PSU

[clayginger007]

This thread exists everywhere, I realize, but I need some advice.

Currently running an Intel i7 4790k, 16gb of ddr3 ram, on a gtx 1080 with 8gb of vram and a corsair CX600m psu.... This summer ill be replacing my entire tower with an upgraded i7 8700k, 16gb of ddr4, and watercooling (i.e x2 120mm 360mm radiators with a water pump) do any of yall sexies think I should one up my current psu with that of a little extra voltage just in case. Maybe a 750 watt gold?

Why upgrade to a 8700k? It's not made anymore and just dead stock in shops.

The above PSU is a great choice

The 8700K isn't discontinued, yet. For the right price, it might be a worthwhile purchase netting 6c/12t opposed to a straight 8c for similar money.

Yes, replace that CX600. The Focus+ that Blackbird linked is a great unit, for a great price.
You could go slighter cheaper and maintain decent enough quality (say a Capstone), but given the minor savings, it makes no sense not to opt for the Focus+.
