Titanium is the best, but for a 650W you can look for bronze, gold or platinum depending on the rest of you system.

Is good enough, 650 is a bit to much.

A All In One liquid cpu cooler, but seeing the load, I'm assuming you don't have one of those.

My friend gave me a dual Radiator.

Still, I didn't get if you haven't got the 960 and plan getting one or already have one and want a second one?

Oh sorry. Im really using the 960 as an example, but I honestly might consider moving from a GTX 750 Ti 2GB and going to a 960 when AMD Polaris, and Nvidia Picasso come out. then GPU prices should go down maybe. But i put the GTX 960 in, because the power consumption so I have some le-way to build a rig and have enough power to use the hardware.
