Hey guys
I'm looking for an 850 watt power supply and I don't know what to get as this is my first build. The ones I'm considering are, corsair AX860i, CoolerMaster V850,or Seasonic X850.
These are my specs -
CPU – Intel Core i7 4790K
Motherboard – ASUS Z97 Deluxe
GPU – MSI NVidia GTX 970
RAM – Corsair Vengeance DDR3 – 16GB (2 X 8GB)
Storage – SSD | Samsung 850 Pro 512GB
HDD | WD Black 2TB
CPU Cooler – Corsair H100i
Case – Corsair Obsidian Series 750D
Thanks in advance
850W is overkill for this setup, a good 750W PSU will even handle a GTX 970 SLI setup later on if needed.

If you can't afford that, go with the EVGA SuperNOVA 750W B2. Also made by
Super Flower, and still fully modular, but cables are not completely black,
80+ Bronze certified instead of Gold, and a 5 year warranty.
