Yes the PSU is a littler overkill.

Thanks for the build options, I really appreciate it.

I really like the build that Swndlr gave me

Do you think I will be able to play games like crysis 3, tomb raider, and bioshock infinite at high details, 1080p for the next 3 years?

you will be ok for quite some time. down the line when the 970 eventually isnt enough (wont be for awhile, the 970 is a beast) then you could just add another :P

Thanks, I will upgrade the 970 once it is not enough. I have seen some benchmarks within the 970 and it is a beast, thanks a lot for the help @Swndlr
