20amp on the +12v and 400w minimum. 450w would be better and honestly 520-550w is usually about the same price.

Anything by Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Super Flower, or EVGA's G2, GS, or B2 series would be fine.

System Power Supply Requirements for a single GeForce GTX 960
NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater system power supply. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 28 Amps or greater
the system power supply should also have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors (e.g. Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2 GB [GV-N960G1 GAMING-2GD REV.1.0], Inno3D iChill Geforce GTX 960 2GB Ultra) or one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector (e.g. EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2 GB [02G-P4-2966-KR], MSI GTX 960 Gaming OC 2 GB [GTX 960 GAMING 2G]).

The Corsair CX430M is now a discontinued model and has been replaced by the new CX450M that has a higher operating environment temperature limit and a longer warranty.
