Looking for a power supply

This will be my first build and I'm trying to find the right amount of power for my PC. Problem is, I was using a calculator and I can't find my video card. I'm pretty sure it matters to get the right card so I'm stuck at this point, can you help me? I'm looking for the correct power and something semi or fully modular.

550W will do even 960SLI. Just make sure to at least get a 80+ Gold unit. 

Though I would suggest a i5 4460 and a better GPU, the 960 is a pretty poor GPU. (And successor of the 760)

Did you plan on sli? A good 550 watt is more than plenty and a 600 watt will be plenty for sli. Evga gs is good. Seasonic x line is great too. Did you have a price range.

I watched Linus said the power supply is serious business so I'm taking that advice, there is no price range for this component and I didn't plan on using sli.

Overall build ticket price I want to keep around 1500.

Well, I watched Linus talk about the video card on Youtube and the best game I would play was guild wars 2. So, because of cost and perks I went with the gtx 960. What would be a better video card for the build and GW2?
