Will a gtx 970 and fx 6300 work on my corsair 550w psu http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vs-seriestm-vs550-550-watt-power-supply

Those are built by CWT, so I'd suspect the capacitor quality in them; it may not last, but is not unsafe. The wattage is high enough for your system.

totally
the gtx 970 doesnt drow more than 150watt and the fx uses about 125watt
A total of 300 with the other components

However dont go for a Vs series PSU, buy an CX or CS if you can afford them

You might have to overclock your FX 6300 to get the most out of the GTX 970.

The CX and GS models DO use the inferior capacitors, that tend to fail within one year.

Or not, it depents on the stress you put on them. He needs 300Watt, if he buys a CX with 600 Watt it it last for a long time

the minimum recommended for a GTX 970 is not 300W. It is 550W.

The "minimum" requirements are an attempt, sometimes futile, to account for all the liar-labeled PSU-shaped objects that are still somehow allowed to be sold.
