My system specs are: 

- I7 6700k 3.40 GHz

- MSI GTX 980 Armor 2x OC 

- ASUS Z170‑PRO GAMING Motherboard

- ATNG ATM-600FB 600W 80 Power Supply

- WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache

- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

 

I just figured that I should get a little over the normal watt for my pc because I play on upgrading my gpu to a 1080 soon. But correct me if I'm wrong!

You'll be fine with a 6700K/1080 on 550W, the only reason you'd need more is if you were going HEDT or multi-GPU but since you're not you'll be fine. Also for the love of god man get a better cooler, the 212 is awful. get something like https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FRYLrH/be-quiet-dark-rock-4-cpu-cooler-bk021 that way your CPU is cooler and you can overclock more

Thanks dude! Do you think i'll have to apply more thermal paste if I get the new cooler? I've had my pc for the better part of 3 years

Cleaning off and swapping thermal paste never hurts.

Alright nice, does it matter if I get a fully modular psu or not? I mean all I need is one graphics card so I think any non-modular psu would work but let me know. I'm just trying to save a little money

Just get one of the ones I linked you, they are the best on the market under $100. For the record I currently own all three (G2 is an 850W though and not currently in use) and they are all excellent.

okay thanks!

No problem. You should actually get a 550w though to save money as I said. Here's the one you should get - this is a screaming deal

wow that is really good, and my pc should be fine? Because my old psu was a off-brand 600 watt but i think it was bad because it was from a company called ATNG which looks pretty trash
