Hello guys ! So i own this configuration: CPU: AMD A8 3870K 3.0GHz, MOBO: MSI A75A-G35, 8GB DDR3 RAM Hyperx Fury Blue at 1600mhz, a normal 500gb WesternDigital 7200rpm HDD and a 500w PSU from SAGA 2 with 80% certification, and a few days ago i got a MSI GTX 1080 GAMING X+ 8GB GDDR5X 11 Gpbs and my pc seems to not boot when GTX 1080 is inside but when booting on integrated graphics it boots normal so i want to know what PSU should i get cuz i had another post and somebody told me that the boot problem must be the PSU 100% and i want to know what PSU should i get for my sistem ! Also, in the near future i will upgrade to an i7, a new MOBO, and 16GB DDR4 Ram !

Considering your current GTX 1080 and your plan to upgrade your CPU/MB/RAM, I would look into getting a good quality ~550W PSU such as any of these (availability and cost depends on the actual store/location you will purchase from):

SeaSonic - G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($56.89 @ Newegg)

SeaSonic - FOCUS Plus Gold 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($69.90 @ Newegg)

EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.89 @ OutletPC)

EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($81.98 @ Newegg)

Corsair - RMx 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($97.98 @ Newegg)
