Depends if a part gets no power at all or just not enough power, but you're right, black screens can happen, too.

I know the 980 is very efficient, moreso than your 680. On the other hand the 4770k conumes more than your 3570k, so it is a bit of a toss up. I would stay at your 480W psu if it's still in production or use a similar one, be quiet is a very good brand (using it myself, although a 5 year old 600W 80+ bronze model), and it's a gold model just like I expected from you.

Don't think I will take my old PSU. It would be the only part I'd keep from my old PC and I'd rather have a backup PC. I will probably not find a 400W PSU that satisfies my needs so I will probably go for 450 or 480 again anyway.

New stuff is nice. Looking really forward to it. If only Nvidia and Intel would hurry up with big Maxwell and Broadwell.
