You could get away with a 500watt psu.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

A 600w is more than enough. 

 

The EVGA GS and G2 650W PSUs are good. (a GS 550w would do as well)

i can get  750w psu of £5 more should i go of that one (same brand and model only its on sale)

I would get 1 970 now then upgrade your cpu and mobo to an I5 before getting a second 970.

Yes, you should definitely upgrade the CPU before getting a second 970 :)

 

EVGA's 750W B2 is good for the money, check out offerings from XFX as well as their PSUs are going on sale almost everywhere.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
