We can't help without a budget and currency, but any good quality 450W unit would do you fine.

Personally, A solid 500/550w would do it.

450W on an Intel build. Plus, the price difference between a 450w & 500w is so minimal.

Due to the low power output by the 970 you could run that on a 300W SFX PSU if you really wanted to... but for I would be aiming for a solid 450W as the price is so low.

Antec VP-450
XFX TS 430
XFX Pro 450
Seasonic S12II 430

Any of those would do.

Theres a difference between an expensive PSU and a reliable PSU.

The cheaper PSU you get, the worse its going to be.

Mid range PSU's are reliable

Expensive PSU's come with more bells and whistles.

£35/50 is where you should be looking at for a decent PSU
