20amp on the +12v and 400w minimum. 450w would be better and honestly 520-550w is usually about the same price.

Anything by Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Super Flower, or EVGA's G2, GS, or B2 series would be fine.

do you think the Sharkoon WPM 500 Bronze is a good choice?

System Power Supply Requirements for a single GeForce GTX 960
• NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater system power supply. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
• the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 28 Amps or greater
• the system power supply should also have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors (e.g. Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2 GB [GV-N960G1 GAMING-2GD REV.1.0], Inno3D iChill Geforce GTX 960 2GB Ultra) or one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector (e.g. EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2 GB [02G-P4-2966-KR], MSI GTX 960 Gaming OC 2 GB [GTX 960 GAMING 2G]).

The Corsair CX430M is now a discontinued model and has been replaced by the new CX450M that has a higher operating environment temperature limit and a longer warranty.
