I want to get a GTX 960 when it comes out (supposed to around the 22nd). I was wondering what you guys would recommend for parts to go around the 960. I am starting from scratch so I need all the parts. Around 750$ budget, the 960 is supposed to be 200-250$ so factor that in too. Thanks Guys!

judging by how 970 rolls that psu will be overkill. cheaper mobo is possible I agree on that one.
