- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 7 ATX LGA1150
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K (Would like to overclock)
- GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz

Thank you for any help you guys can provide

Is there a danger to using using a power supply with too much extra power? And thank you for the reply.
 


no there won't be any danger from using a PSU with excessive power supply as your components take only what they require

I would defiantly go with the XFX PSU which is mentioned in the above answer the price is steep but its Gold certified
