If this is just for gaming I would of dumped most of the extra crap, got a i5 4690K processor, CM hyper 212, and used the savings for a 980 video card something that would actually help gaming performance.
To answer your question get a 750 watt PSU so you can add another 970 card in the future.

I just want to game at 1080p and i hear one 970 is plenty. Just really want to know the best wattage for power supply. Its a low wattage build but with extra sdd,hdd, 5 fans, rog gaming panel, light leds, and 4.7 overclock, headset,keyboard, and mouse then idk. Maybe 650w would be perfect?

I would get a 650 to have more head room.

Multiply whatever PCPartpicker shows by 1.2. That's the wattage to purchase. Temporarily add the additional elements (SSD, etc.) to see the recommendation.
