Your CX600 , although not the greatest power supply can easily power a 970 , just upgrade when you are able to.

Your PSU is actually just about perfect for what you are running and planning to run. Meaning you are free to wait for a nice sale on a 750W or 850W in the future if you want to SLI later on. Try and get a 80+ gold rated PSU for better efficiency.

FWIW, I would not buy a gold rated psu for electric savings. You are unlikely to save enough.
One good reason is for quiet. A gold rated psu will not need to run it's fan so much for cooling.
