Hi there, first time builder here.
Currently I have an Asus H97-Plus motherboard, GTX 960 GPU, intel i5 4690K processor and 8GB of Ballistix RAM with a corsair carbide 100R case. I'm planning on using the PC for gaming mostly, and I'm not planning to overclock.
Firstly, how do I know how powerful of a power supply to get? I was planning on using a 550W Corsair CS, but I wasn't sure if it'll be enough. Also, if I'm not planning on overclocking will the stock processor fan be enough for cooling or should I still get an aftermarket cooling fan?
Thanks in advance!

Agreed. Especially if you're not going to overclock.
