Ok. I'm currently about to build a system around an i5 4690k and a GTX 970 card.

Originally I had planned on buying an EVGA SuperNova 750W B2 PSU, however the supplier I purchased from cannot guarantee stock and I am looking elsewhere.

I have started thinking about the future and think that perhaps I will want to O/C the CPU and SLI the card with perhaps another 970, so my question is this:

Should I still go for another 750W B2 or upgrade to either a 750W G2 or the 850W G2??

Obviously I don't want to spend more than I need to, but if getting a better PSU saves me in the future then fine.

B2 is great quality and will definately do the job with ease, if you can get it, its the best value/money currently, quality is on par with G2. 750W G2 would be my next recommendation. B2 will NOT be any bad for the requirements.

Ty. I've taken a quick look through some of the threads and as you said the B2's efficiency is good enough even if I do O/C and SLI with another card.
