A good quality 650w unit would be ideal I'd you plan to overclock the CPU and gpu. Or if you plan to sli in the future, 850w is what you want to look at.
I'd recommend anything from EVGA, Superflower, XFX, Seasonic.

If you are not planning on going SLI in the future, a quality 550W will be plenty including ambient overclocking on both the CPU and GPU (assuming no bios mods on GPU). Your CPU is 88W, and the GPU is 250W. Give another 50W for the rest of the parts, and we barely see 400W. Since the 980ti has a power limit of around 10-20%, that means it CAN'T pull more than 300W. So as a WORST CASE with overclocking, you are looking at 475W. Note, that is with BOTH things running at 100% (which only happens during stress testing). Gaming will be a lot less than that (~400W).

Bet anything over 600-700 watts be fine.

The PSU you have is fine, no need to upgrade.

Gold, Bronze, Silver, etc. are just about the efficiency, it doesn't mean the PSU provides less Watt's. What is important, is that the PSU has enough wattage and is of good quality.
