Something like this minimum for sli gtx 970.
If you want to be within 75-80% usage then I'd go with something like this for the future:

People have said that especially if overclocked the gtx 970 under full load can draw more than it's sticker rating - the 1000w capstone from rosewill may seem excessive, but guru3d rec's min 800w for sli and that will keep you worst case scenario within 75-80% psu wattage even under extreme sli conditions.
So your saying that 800 w would be perfect? My goal is to be at 90% of the wattage max, by using 2 gtx 970 overclocked.as for the quality I dont know if those psus you suggest me are trustworthy,I have no problem with the money so suggest me a supreme psu that will be perfect for my built.
