A 500W xfx/seasonic unit.

Exact model of your GPU will help...

Considering you have a 970 my original recommendation stands - > a 500W Seasonic/Xfx/Antec Unit OR a 550W Superflower/EVGA Unit

This will be enough for any peripherals you might want to use in the future.

550W requirement for a 970 is a lie and there are plenty of articles to prove it doesn't need more than 250W

I would recommend minimum 550w for single gtx 970 but if you plan to sli in the future 750w
