Nice build :) I'd recommend at least a tier two PSU, such as the XFX TS 550w or 650w. They're manufactured by Seasonic, a leader in power supplies. If you want to SLI in the future, consider getting a 750w PSU. The EVGA B2 Supernova is a reliable and affordable tier two unit, manufactured by Super Flower (another top-notch manufacturer). Avoid the Corsair CX/CS series and the EVGA 500b and 600b at ALL COST, especially for a high end build like yours as they're all garbage. It's not worth taking the risk. Take a look at the PSU tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

It's decent, but I've heard people have reported bad voltage regulations issues with the NEX series ( I believe the NEX lineup were the first PSUs that EVGA sold): http://www.overclock.net/t/1476935/why-you-should-not-buy-an-evga-supernova-nex650g-750g-aka-g1

The Supernova B2 750w is an overall better unit and has improved upon it's NEX predecessors (plus it's cheaper right now). https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

Yes, that's a quality unit. Another good choice would be the XFX TS 550W, it is also manufactured by Seasonic, but just go for whichever one is cheaper.
