Ive used that same case with only having a single fan i would get a reference 980, you have room in that case. A blower to exhaust the hot air

Reference gtx 980 fit in this case without the h60i? And what cooling are you using for cpu stock air cooler or something else ?

So i should go for a cpu upgrade has well?

Honestly? I don't think you need one. Unless, you do 3d rendering/ video rendering because the extra hyper threading would be nice. If your just gaming than you're completely fine with a 4670k.

I was using a 120mm aio cpu cooler with a 140mm air penetrator fan from silverstone. You just need a blower style to help vent heat and not just spitting it back into the case

Do you think my power supply will be able to power everything fine its only a 80 plus gold 450w sfx from silverstone?

You most likely need something a little more powerful. 600w being the minimum to a 750w maximum.
