Then 1070 or 1080. You can also wait for Vega and see what that offers and if Nvidias stupid prices come down.

Is my CPU going to keep it up?

[MrMcMuffinJr]

Id wait for the 1080ti actually, depending on if it will have a $600 option.

easily

Its up to you but you could either wait until vega comes out or get a rx 480 8 gb and a new psu maybe 600-700 watts, because it will help in the future

Until we know the brand//model of power supply, i wouldn't recommend a 1080 or even a 1070.

I would not put anything above RX470 in a system that has unknown PSU. Firstly upgrade your PSU to something more reliable

Don't listen to these other suggestions, you need somthing that fits you.

 

What displays are you using (Resoloution/refresh rate) and do you have a theme and or budget?

500 W power supply (came with case)

 

So it must be sucked and he would likely need new one

If it's not a trustworthy brand, and since he would be getting, most likely, a $200 or more gpu, he would want a better psu, because of the watts on his psu and the sketchiness of the brand.

He said 500W which as we know means nothing.

Yeah you are going to want to get a 600w-700w psu from evga or bequiet or corsair that will sustain your system for a long time to come.  I recommend these:

and these especially:

I've heard of Codegen, and it wasn't under positive circumstances.

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/psus/2014/06/20/550w-650w-psu-roundup/5

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5791/codegen-pcase-460w-low-price-poor-quality/4

 

It should be pointed out that quality can vary wildly between different models, even from the same company, and it's quite possible Codegen has a product or two that meets some reasonable standard of performance. But in practically every Codegen review I find, the first paragraph of the conclusion seems to be a lecture about why you should never buy a Codegen PSU.

 

I would definitely recommend a PSU upgrade before considering a GTX 1070 or 1080. In both reviews linked above, the unit began to fail at only 50% load.
