I found a great deal on a Seasonic Platinum 660W. And I was making sure that it is a good unit to get for this build: Parts plus Some future things as well

Edit: Fixed the link. Sorry for the confusion.

My worry is not a single GPU. I may go with SLI with GTX 970 later on as well overclocking my CPU. Maybe next 1-2 years. According to the calculators, There is still 100 Watts left.

First of your CPU would bottleneck the SLI setup and the board you have chosen does not support SLI. But the SS 660 would handle 2 x 970.

First you stole my build :)  http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2332478/building...
That CPU will not bottleneck anything.
That board will SLI not a clue where it won't came from.
The 660 power supply is enough for the single 980 video card if your going to downgrade the build to a 970 card and wish to keep the option for SLI then stick with the original 750 watt power supply, if your going to keep the 980 card and wish to keep the option to run 2 980's is SLI then up the power supply to 850 watts.

The GA-Z77X-UD5H does support SLI and crossfire. And the i5 3570K should be able to handle as well and it will soon be overclocked as well.

Yes everything will work. Looks like you already have everything and are adding 2 970 cards and a new power supply. Overclock your processor up to 4.4GHz or so and enjoy.
