The GTX 970 finally launched! And I want to upgrade! But I do not know if I have to upgrade my PSU or not. I want to sell and upgrade my GTX 760 Twin Frozr IV 4GB GDDR5. My PSU, just so you know has been running for a little over a year now, with no problems playing games at Ultra presets.

Here are my PC specs:

CPU - i7-3770
RAM - 12 GB @ 1600 MHz
GPU - GTX 760 Twin Frozr IV 4GB GDDR5
HDD - WD 2 TB
PSU - EVGA 500w Bronze Certified

This is the link to the Nvidia GTX GPU I want to buy:

(EVGA GTX 970 ACX 1.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit)


So yeah. Oh and FYI, I have 40 amps on the 12 V rail. SoOoOo, yeah. Will I have to upgrade. I saw on Nvidias website that the power usage of the GTX 970 is lower than the GTX 760's. But I want to ask on here cuz you guys know a whole lot more than me so yeah. THANKS!
