A GTX 970's power draw is near a GTX 760. With your config a 500-550W PSU will be MORE THAN ENOUGH (including overclocking on the CPU and GPU).

Get the Seasonic M12II 520 or S12II 520 if you can afford these.
Else, Seasonic Eco 500 or Antec VP550P are your best bet.

Hope this helps

I assume for a high-end build like that you would install a liquid cooler too. So I would recommend Seasonic S12II - 620W or an M12II - 620W.
