are you going to overclocking? any reason why you wanna buy GTX 960?
If answer is no better buy the non K and save up the money... can buy 970 or 290X which is better GPU... long term use for another 2 3 years.... as for PSU i think 550 power is enough or lesser unless you planning to SLI in the future.
