ksham gave you a good advice on the PSU, but I'd like to give you an advice on the build. Since it is for gaming you'd be better with a cheaper CPU (i5 4460), thus cheaper mobo. The money that you will save from the CPU and MB use it to buy better GPU

Please keep in mind that there are no H87 or H97 motherboards that support SLI. So @Scarlogz, if you plan on SLI in the future, you'll want a Z87 or Z97 motherboard. But with that, you may as well get an overclocking CPU in case you need it in the future to offset any possible bottlenecks your CPU may cause to the graphics cards.

I Personally use that EXACT PSU with my build:
i5-4670k
MSi z97-g45
Gtx 760 OC
Samsung 840 EVo- 120GB
WD blue-1TB
CX600M

I play games like watch dogs and world of tanks on that psu, and it has never crapped out on me yet, it is quiet, and i ran furmark on my gpu to stress both the PSU and the GPU and i am glad to say that it still works perfectly, it is a PERFECT for a budget build, mine was $1270, and it suits my needs, however, if you ever plan to SLI with a video card, you will need a more powerful PSU because this one only offers one PCI power connector.
