Most 970's have a 250W TDP so 6 (1500W) is way too much.
Also 6 pin power connectors can output 75W and 6+2 connectors can (should) output 150W so having 12 of them is somewhat pointless since you can't utilize all of them (1800W).
I use EVGA SuperNova G2 1300W PSU's and I think they are better than what I have have read about the Cooler Master V1200.
The G2 1300W is cheaper, have 3 years more warranty (10 instead of 7) and have lower ripple levels on the 12V rail.
It's "just" gold, not platinum but the difference in efficiency under standard mining load (70-80%) is negligible:

Look into it and decide for yourself.
TDP is not real world consumption: my Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming (insane overclock out of the box: 1430 Mhz) pulls 180W from the wall mining Quark. 145W mining Lyra2v2.
If you really wanted to stay on the safe side, you could always replace 1-2 cards with 950s...
The EVGA looks nice too. But EVGA is a very US-centric company: it seems impossible to find in France. The only one I could find was on amazon.fr for 438. So that's a no-go for me...
There is also the Enermax Platimax EPM1350EWT 80PLUS Platinum for 295, but it only has 8 8pin connectors...
Any alternatives?
