I don't know what PSU to get. Below is the general components.
i7 4790k
GTX 960 (maybe sli in future)
Z97 mobo
ssd
hdd
8gb ram

I think 600-750 watts should be good.

I found 2 possible PSUs but idk if either are good

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

and

EVGA New Version SuperNOVA 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified 750W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply

The B2 , G2 , P2 and soon to be T2 are all made by the best Super Flower , very good units.
I own 2 - EVGA G2 850w and a P2 1000w all are great power supplies.
EVGA has released 3 NEW power supplies made by SEASONIC , a little more pricey , should drop in a few weeks.

If the EVGA PSU is the "B2" version, then both PSU's are fairly similar in quality and performance. The HX750 has the slight advantage of being Gold rated which means it is a bit more efficient than the SuperNova 750 with its Bronze rating.

The EVGA PSU is a bit cheaper to purchase than the Corsair PSU. But in the long term, it will be cheaper to run the Corsair PSU due to better efficiency.
