I would go no less than a 750w with a 9000 series single card build , most encounter issues if they go lower.

FROM AMD:


Your choices for the 9000 series:

Asrock 970 Performance
ASRock 990FX Extreme9
ASRock 990FX Extreme6
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0\5.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2
MSI 990FXA-GAMING

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 850W to 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling , h100i minimum or full system liquid cooling.
well the monitor is running off wall power, and even the most RGB of RGB keyboards and Mice use little power as well. at worst I would say 50W with the headphones and even that number might be several times to high. so don't worry you will have ample power.
 


I guess in case the author of this post takes up heavy CPU overclocking...

That current VS is not a good power supply. but yes a 750G2 would work great as well.
But with 850 SLI is possible if overclocking is pout at second priority.
 
A G2 650W would work. I know the OP is using one of those high draw AMD 9xxx CPUs and needs ~250W just for that. But with the 1070 and everything else added he shouldn't need more then 500W. An 850W won't ruin his system and probably won't be much different then a 750 so it's no biggie if he gets the 850 over the 750. But even a 650W would do it, and still only be loaded to ~75% of it's rated output.
