Yes, the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 Series is a good-quality PSU and it should be enough with more headroom than the recommended PSU rating of 430W. But if you want to save more bucks to spend on other upgrades, I would suggest getting the 550W version of the EVGA or any of the Seasonic 520W to 550W models. It'll be more savings for wattage you don't need.

it's a bit overkill if anything, 500w is more than enough.
it's a good choice of brand though, and should last if you plan to upgrade in future - even a 980ti will run on that PSU.

The general rule of thumb or at least mine is at least go 50 watts over the minimum at most 100. That's only if you don't plan on upgrading components in the near future.

Also according to your current setup. You have a 780 ti? You realize going from a 780 ti to a 960 is worse, a lot worse. Fps wise. Sure, you might get dx 12 features, but thats not going to overcome the short coming in just raw performance.

i should clarify...
the evga 650 g2 that sharp244 chose is a good choice, and will power a future upgrade, even a 980ti.

That seems obvious because based on your sig, all are better than the parts list you are asking. I mean, why would you replace your i7-4790k with an i5-4690 right? So, it's definitely a new rig.

I've seen my fair share of people building new rigs replace out for worse parts because a friend says this is new. But didn't see the 4790k.
