it turns out RM750w is actually cheaper ATM, and it would allow you to run GTX 970 SLI, if you dont think that would ever become relevant you could get something like this instead:

Also, I am not good at picking monitors, I am at a loss when it comes to them.

You should do some research into what sort of monitor that is ideal for you. Do you want high color quality, high refresh rate or high resolution? Do you want more than 1 monitor? What games do you play?
