500w maybe even a 430w, but better to keep some room in case you decide to upgrade to a better card and/or overclockable cpu since you have a z97 board but not a k-series chip

agree with the evga, g2 if possible, though most evga psu's are fine just dont buy an off brand just cause its cheap

What is the recommended amount of watts for a power supply with the following

 

intel core i5 4690

gtx 960

1tb hard-drive

msi gaming 3 z97 motherboard

8gb ram

optical drive 

stock cpu fan

 

thank you 

 

The entire system will use around 200W under load so use that however you may. I'd suggest a Seasonic S12. Good enough for your system and should work well.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
