Or just tell me your specs and I will recommend a good power supply for it.

If you use pcpartpicker.com it will show you the REQUIRED wattage of the system. You will want to go over that estimate by ~20% if you plan to overclock. You also need to make sure you buy a HIGH QUALITY power supply from Tier 1 through Tier 3 on the following list: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
PROCESSOR - Intel Core i5 4460
CABINET - Circle CC 830 Professional Gaming Cabinet (without SMPS) Black
HDD - Seagate SV-35 1TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST1000VX000)
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H Intel Z97 Chipset Gaming Motherboard
GPU - Asus Strix GeForce GTX960-DC20C-4GD5
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)

Anything 450watts or more will be good for that. What is your budget for a power supply? This is one of the best consumer power supply's on the market right now and i would highly recommend it, let me know if it is too expensive and I will try to find something cheaper.

I would want at least 100watts of head room you dont want to pushing your psu to the limit every time you game. I would get a 550watt psu so you can upgrade in the future if you choose you want a more power hungry gpu in the future. But yeah a good 400-450watt psu would be fine.
