Current plans for new rig:

 

CPU: Intel i7 4790k

Mobo: Asus Z97-AR

GPU: EVGA GTX970 FTW Edition (Owned)

CPU Cooler: BeQuiet DarkRock3 (dual fans) OR DarkRockPro3

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe OR Corsair 780T/450D

PSU: ???

SSD/HDD: ???

Color Scheme: Blue

 

A friend from the forums seemed to strongly recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOC/?tag=pcpapi-20

 

Please recommendations? Dual 970s might be an option in the future if I require it, so keep that in mind. Budget is not an issue. Thanks for any input. (:

Want to SLI? EVGA G2 750W

No SLI? Seasonic X or G-Series or Corsair CS550M

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

you can quad sli gtx 970 on the 850W G2. 

 

capstone 650W-M is enough for SLI and it has a good price. or the evga G2 750 but its more expensive. both are great power supplies,super flower OEM

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going really picky on this rick so I might go with the EVGA or a Corsair simply for the cables. On the one you linked the 24 pin (& maybe others) aren't all black. Very picky I know, on my current rig I wasn't picky at all and it's practically a rainbow. I'm going to be putting some effort into looks on this one. Thanks though.

For a single 970, I'd go with an Antec EDGE 550. For two-way SLI, I'd go with a Seasonic 760XP2.

Intel Core i7-5930K | Noctua NH-D15S | ASUS X99-M WS | 32GB (4 x 8GB) G.Skill Ripjaws V 2666MHz | MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6G | Samsung 850 Pro 512GB | Seasonic 660XP2 | Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV

well than the G2 750W. corsair RM is not bad,but its worse than the G2 and cost more. don`t get 850 you`ll have terrible efficiency
