Yes, 1KW will work for 3-way SLI of GTX 970's. The EVGA G2 is the best choice for quality and dependability. It has the six 6-pin PCIe cables you need to power the three cards. Good choice.

The psu is plenty.
But, I would have issues with your build.
FX-8350 is likely to be a bottleneck with even two GTX970 cards.
Triple sli gives you low return on the third card.

Since money seems to be no object, I think you would game better with a i5-6600K or i7-6700K and two GTX980ti cards.

And... No build like this should be with out a ssd.
