Hello, the confing is:

GPU: MSI GTX 970
Motherboard: Asus H170 Pro Gaming
CPU: Core i7 6700
RAM: 2x8GB 2133 MHz DDR4
Storage: 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD

I have searched but didn't find a definitive answer. I'm leaning towards Corsair RMx Series RM650x 650W 80 Plus Gold, but in the descriptons it says that it's for Skylake CPUs and Z170 motherboards.

My questions are:
1.Will the PSU work on my confing good?
2.Do I even need 650W since I will NOT be overclocking with this rig?
3.Any other suggestions about a PSU?

I'll probably get more ventilators in the case for cooling and more RAM if that's relevant.

Thanks for your time and have a good day!

Aviol,

Since you didn't provide full specs of your build, I will assume some things about the configuration of your PC.

I've put these specs into the PSU calculator and here is the result: http://outervision.com/b/eiPycD (Like I said, I had to make some assumptions).

As you can see, the result for the above configuration shows 426 W.

My suggestion would be to get:
EVGA Supernova G2 550W 80 Gold+ or the 650 W variant.
