Here is my build:
Nvidia GTX 970 (Made by EVGA)
Intel i7 4770k
Asus Z87-Pro
16GB ram
A disk drive capable of rewriting
WD Red 3TB for NAS 3.5-inch Desktop Hard Drive
And the tower, because you may need to take fans into account: Corsair CC-9011059-WW 780T Graphite Series

Taking all of these things into account, what should i use for the PSU? Note that, I may need a corsair branded one, as the case came with odd looking connectors for the gages and things on the front, however, these may just be the fan connectors that go into the motherboard.

Also, I do not want to go overboard on the price. I saw a 1200 watt PSU for around £250, and I thought that was way over the limit. I also do not want to go too cheaply, as I heard that bad things happen with cheap PSU's

Oh, and I need this answered before 5pm GMT 5/2/15 (5th February 2015), because if I don't order my parts by tomorrow, I may not receive it in time for the build. This won't be a complete disaster, just an annoyance, as I have already had the build delayed multiple times.

Please do not answer unless you are 100% certain that the PSU will work in my new computer, this website has not failed me yet, so I expect the good quality answers I normally get.

It's only 650 watts, and that worries me, as the graphics card alone uses 500. I read online that the motherboard adds an additional 500, exceeding the wattage of that PSU by a longshot.

Just read the specifications of it again, for some reason it tells you the 145 power limit, and then decides to say "Minimum System Power Requirement (W) 500".

I assume that means ideally, the rig needs over 500 (W) to ensure the graphics card causes no problems.

Please, show me the 750 power supply as long as it is fully modular. I use a ton of USB's and the all the technology on the tower may need some extra watts. My current pc struggles at 600 watts, that is why I worry about the power in my new rig.
