I'd say get a 650/750W PSU, i'd recommend EVGA G2 supernova 750w PSU.

Also I wouldn't recommend getting the 980 GTX due to it's horrible value, it would be better to save up another 120€ to get that 30% preformance boost by going with the 980GTX TI, which is way better value then the 980GTX.

Build it in http://pcpartpicker.com/ then look at the value that they show for the estimated maximum wattage. (Keep in mind that this is stock, not overclocked at all)

At a minimum, take that value add another 15% then round up to the nearest half century. (ie: 503 = 550)
