In 99.8% of cases just pick your PSU based upon the recommendations of the card supplier. Unless you have 15 HDs, water pumps or some other major power draw, the card chose will be the controlling factor

960 Thermal and Power Specs:
98 C = Maximum GPU Tempurature (in C)
120 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
400 W = Minimum Recommended System Power (W)
1x 6-pins = Supplementary Power Connectors

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 960 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 400 ~ 450 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 970 or 980 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
