It doesnt have to be really expensive, something like a EVGA 500 BQ (which is $54) will be more than enough for the 1080 and 7600k. If you want to get the 750W for what ever reason its just $16 more expensive. Nvidia themselves a 500W psu for the 1080 with a good cpu like the 7600k factored in,
Also the CX-series is fine if your system doesn't require a lot of power or if your system is ultra budget. Also the EVGA ones have sleeved cables which looks much nicer than the Corsair one. The CX psus with the green lables have not the best quality caps and use thin gauage wires if i recall correctly and is not suitable if you are planning to overclock in the future.
If you still want a Corsair CX psu, get ones with a gray logo, those are the new ones and they use higher quality components. But they are much more expensive for some reason so I would recommend the evga ones.
If you dont care about the all black cables on the BQ get the B1 which is a bit cheaper but the same PSU IIRC Here
Thanks for the reply!

But the issues with sleep/shut down didn't use to happen. I think they started around BIOS 3.X.
The strange behavior (which makes me assume it's not PSU) is that if I start it up fresh, and hit "sleep", it WILL sleep, and wake up properly. But if after waking up I hit sleep again, it will turn off the display and keep fans/lights on, with a "wrong password" BIOS error code (d8 I believe, which makes NO sense).
Same with Shut down - it will shut down correctly, then hang with an error code next time. Rinse and repeat
