I am trying to build my own gaming pc for the first time, so I am not really experienced and would appreciate your help!

My current setup is (probably) going to be:
- MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB
- Intel Core i5-4690K
- MSI Z97 GAMING 5
- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9
- Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD

I still haven't picked a power supply simply because I can't decide upon which one. There is way too many options for an inexperienced user like myself.
My price range is up to 150 $ if needed, but I would prefer to stay below that if possible.

N.B. If you have any other advice regarding my other parts feel free to add those aswell. As I said I am new to all this.

All help is appreciated!

Thanks for the quick reply to both of you.

For now I think I am going with a single graphics card, however I might consider SLI on the long run. I think I might as well buy the 850 W PSU suggested.

In regards to storage I have considered using a 250GB SSD and a 1-2 TB HDD instead. Would you recommend that instead?
Though right now I have a laptop with 750 GB space and 400 of those are currently unoccupied.
