Get a decent one with cable managemant. And a bigger than 530 W, 600+ should be fine. Your new GPU needs a minimum
system power from 500 W also when it just consumes 145 W. And get one with a good 80+ certificate. My power suply just died the heat death yesterday while playing Witcher 3 for an hour. But I had two older spare supplies here.
This one looks nice:

I need a new system .. I still have my GTX570 and so on but 12 GB DDR3 RAM at 1333.
I did almost as you suggested and got the 600 Watt be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM Modular 80+ Gold, which wasn't too expensive (less than half of the one you linked).
Also got a new case:
AeroCool Aero 1000 White Edition. It is really neat. Good cable management, 5 fans (3 pre-installed and I added 2 more), 3 removable dust filters. Lots of space in case I want to add more stuff later. Runs a bit louder than I am used to, but then again I went from having 1 case fan to 5 case fans.
Also, now I can finally say that I've build my own PC. My first PC (from 2010) was built by my oldest brother (in exchange for a cake), with the parts that my second-oldest brother selected for me based on my budget. I added and upgraded parts over the years, including switching out the motherboard and processor in 2014, but now that I've replaced the remaining two parts from 2010 (the case and power supply), and transferred all parts to the new case, I finally feel that I really built this entire PC myself.
