So I'm purchasing all of the components for my gaming pc build and am stuck on the right power supply to buy, I want something that will last me for a while but i don't want to overdo it. I will utilize the SLI feature on my GPU in the future if that makes a difference. I would like to buy an EVGA supernova PSU but I don't know which one to buy in terms of wattage that would cover all of my components and leave room for future additions and/or changes.

My rig:

Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Hero
CPU: Intel i5 4690k
GPU: MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G
STORAGE: Samsung EVO 500 GB SSD
CASE: Fractal R5
RAM: Corsair Vengeance PRO 16gb
LG Blu-ray Disk drive
Corsair H90 CPU cooler

If you intend to run SLI in the future, I recommend a solid 850w psu. These are the two best deals right now.

...and if it's not too late, I would drop the i5 and expensive cooler and get an i7 4790k + $30 air cooler for about the same price. You could also save a lot of money by getting a 240-256GB ssd + 1TB hdd.
