i would go with a 750W PSU, other than that looks good.

 

slap some Green LED fans on there for extra greenliness

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Why 750? He whole thing will use only about 300-400watts

the estimated wattage on PCPartPicker isnt when its under full load.

 

also EVGA 80+ gold SuperNova NEX full mod 750W is like $85, which is less than your current PSU

 

(assuming USD)

i my self run rm650 with 4690k + gtx 970 have never heard the fan on (turns on at 50% usage) and my build is pretty quiet, i am thinking about sliing soon too, but is it too little power? i will put with a 750w instead since they cost as much but the 650 is about 3 cm shorter

 

i have asked if he wanted a green fan but he said i rather upgrade to it later and save some money now

but the Supernova NEX is cheaper, and has more wattage for potential upgrades such as SLI
