Something like a Corsair CX450M would be ideal, but why are you buying a GTX 960?

@Comic_Sans_MS i already have the msi gtx 960 and dont have the money to upgrade to like a 1070 at the moment.

he probably got one used - i don't think anyone who can make a partlist like that would buy one new

honestly, if you want to upgrade to the  1080, you should get the cx550m or the rmi 550

500W is more than enough. 450W should be fine too.

Why a CX550M over a CX450M? They are both very similar and you can very heavily overclock a i7 6950X and a Titan XP easily on a 450W PSU

i got it awhile back when it was new and don't want to upgrade it...

500w should be perfect. Also, saw your comment about the 960, consider AMD. The RX 480 is a massive improvement from the 960 for under $190

Rather than saying you need this many watts, I'll come out and say you should buy a Seasonic S12II 620W for $50 in the US.

 

If you live elsewhere, it's a bit harder but grab the cheapest that is at least 430W and at least Tier 4 from the Tier List linked in my signatiure.
