In the near future I am looking to upgrade my GPU to one of the new 970 overclocked cards.

This is the one I am currently looking at.

Current Specs
GeForce GTX 650 ti Windforce OC 2Gb
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
i5-3570k (currently not overclocked)
2 x 4 GB RAM
some $50 1 TB hard drive
CD drive of-course
Corsair 600w PSU, I think its bronze

All those power calculators out there don't really give a good estimate, I was wondering if you guys could give me a good rule of thumb on whether or not I would have to upgrade my PSU along with my GPU

Your psu is more than good enough, for the GTX 970, they recommended is 500w, if you plan to sli in the future you should get a 650-750w so you dont have to switch later and that should also leave room for overclocking
