I would definitely not put an RM series PSU in a gaming build. You can get a Supernova G2 for less than $100 and it is a much higher quality unit.

Otherwise, that's a nice build and not too expensive considering DDR4.

How about EVGA Supernova 1000 WATT G1 ATX Power Supply 120-G1-1000-VR ? its 5$ more expensive but with 1000 WATT!!

The G1's are rubbish.

I think i will be going for EVGA SuperNOVA 850G2 80PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 850W Power Supply 220-G2-0850-XR
I really appreciate your advice.
One question, is it enough for overclocking ?

I'm not sure. I'm not too familiar with how much energy the Haswell E's will use when OC'd, but I bet it's a lot.

OC'd GTX 970s would also take more power. If OC is your thing, I would think about a 1KW PSU. It's going to be expensive, but worthwhile in a high end build like that.

Capstones are Super Flower Golden Green platform, good tier 2A. And for that build I would ONLY pick a tier 1 or 2A.

^^82 amps on the 12v rail. You are going to dim the lights in the neighborhood.
