Hey guys! I've been browsing threads on here for a while now but finally decided to join.

I'm looking to upgrade my current gpu from a 750 ti to a 970 due to demanding games like Dying Light and The Witcher 3 right around the corner. My PSU is an EVGA 500w Bronze. Will it be able to handle a 970 alongside an fx 6300? (Not OC'ing anything)

I'm aware that I might get a slight bottleneck in certain titles but I figure this is the way to go after seeing the fairly under-whelming performance of the 960. So 970 it is, assuming my PSU will be fine. Thanks!
