soo i want to hook up my GTX 970 (http://www.microcenter.com/product/439377/GeForce_GTX_970_Superclocked_ACX_20_Video_Card) to a Corsair CX500 (500 watts with 80+ Bronze), i want to know if this will be enough for my GPU to run at full load. It will be coupled together with the following......

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Cooler: Corsair H100i
SSD: Crucial MX100 Series 256GB
HDD: WD Black 1TB 7,200 RPM (http://www.microcenter.com/product/422867/Black_1TB_7,200_RPM_SATA_60Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive_WD1003FZEX)
Optical Drive: LG Blu-Ray Writer/Reader
RAM: 12GB (3x4GB Kingston HyperX Fury)

RM series from corsair are pretty good, i have a 780Ti being run with a i5 3570 powered only by a RM 450. Still, for safety reasons 500W would be safe, but yeah thumbs up to the RM.
