OK, So here are all of my parts and most of them I already bought but I got stuck on choosing a PSU.
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K
MB: MSI X99S SLI PLUS
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8x8GB (64GB) DDR4 2400MHz
GPU: Gigabyte G1 GAMING GTX970
CPU FAN: CoolerMaster V8 GTS
CASE: Corsair Carbide 300R (Windowed Edition)
DRIVES: 2TB Seagate SSHD / [2x] LG Blu-Rays 14x/16x
EXTRA: [4x] LYF 120mm Fans / Bluetooth USB + PCI-E to USB / HDMI Switcher / USB Switcher / TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 / 3M Red LED Strip

I think of buying the Corsair RM850 or RM1000 and can't decide what's better and if at all I maybe should buy a different brand. Will 850W be enough for the build ? I also am thinking of an SLI of 2 GTX970's, So will it be also enough for that ?

Thanks in advance.
 
Grab an EVGA SuperNova G2 750W or 850W.

Both will be PLENTY for your system, even with a monster overclock.
 
600W would be plenty for the build honestly...

The EVGA Supernova G2 series are great bang for the buck PSUs.
 
The one thing about Corsair is customer support. You have to check reviews on them, because they sell from a number of makers, and some have been poor.

These two are quite good, and if you did have a problem Corsair has been very good about customer service.

It's pricey, though. The EVGA is a better deal.

Zero need for the 1000 though.
