Why even bother with a 960 at that price?

You should lower down on the power supply since your build power consumption is around 190W peak load. so buying a 750W doesnt make sense. you should go for a 550W even if you plan to upgrade to SLI for 960s. Go for 650W if you plan to go for 970 in SLI in future. 750W is for 980s in SLI .
