Needing a GPU and PSU

Hey, currently I'm just running HD 4600 integrated graphics and I'm wanting to start gaming more on my PC. Current specs are i5 4460, 8GB DDR3, and a 400w PSU. Wanting to run lower end games maxed out at 1080p such as CSGO, as well as some more demanding titles on pretty good settings at 1080p 60fps, Fallout 4, Doom, Witcher 3, GTA 5, Bf1 when it comes out. Was looking at getting a GTX 970, but now with the 1070 releasing It might not be such a good idea. (Although it's still pretty expensive atm) Also looking for a PSU that will be able to handle any high end GPU, if I ever decide to upgrade again in a couple years.

At the current moment, it looks like gpus are getting more efficient.

You can probably (take this with a pillar of salt) use a power supply sufficient for a 980 ti

Thanks for the fast replies. I'll wait for the RX 480, and hopefully my PSU is enough if I end up getting one.
