Is this PSU good or is there better?

@EcoBoost $50?! I'll definitely check that out

I don't think the MIR is on anymore so it's back to $80, but still a great PSU. Gives you room for SLI in the future as well since you'll have an SLI compatible motherboard. So when one 970 becomes not enough for you, you can add a second one and still have power to spare.

 

edit: $70 at Newegg http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

The EVGA B2 is a far better choice than the CX. Don't get the CX.

Edit:@Dzzope given that list and the price of a gtx 960 vs gtx 970 I would need to cut $150 from that build in order to afford a gtx 970. If I can afford it I might change from the 2GB 960 to the 4GB model. I also plan to add a second stick of ram later when I can afford that.

I would stay with the EVGA GS 550W as it is fully modular and has a better oem (Seasonic).

@Dzzope using what you said as a guide I went on PCpartpicker again and actually used it for the entire build from sellers I will actually use and managed to get a gtx 970 and save $10 dollars. Thank you so much for your time and help.

@lee32uk does Seasonic OEM all the GS series PSUs?
