I'm wondering what PSU will I need for Overclocking G3528 and gtx 960 in the future.

I'm wondering if 520W is enough?

I was thinking of getting Z97 motherboard for G3528 now and have z97 for 5th generation CPUs.

As I will overclock G3528 to benefit most of it and a little overclock on gtx 960 when it comes out.

So now I'm wondering if 520W will be enough. Let's say for now it is enough, but 5th generation i5 will it be enough for it then? As TDP get's lower...

If not, could you suggest other PSU for 5th gen i5 and gtx 960.

Thank you for answers.

#Edit: Forgot to mention that I will use Seasonic S12II-520, I'm willing to go for 620 if 520 isn't enough.

5th gen i5 and 960 are not even released, based on rumours and assumptions, yes a QUALITY 520W would be enough, from Antec/ XFX/ SeaSonic/ EVGA. For pentium, definately yes.

The Seasonic 520 is one of the best PSUs available.
It will be enough even for a GTX 980,let alone GTX 960 and your build. :)

But I will upgrade to i5 5th generation when I see their OC potentials, so would it be better anyway to go 620?
