Current Specs:
MOBO: gigabyte ga 970a
GFX: Sapphire Radeon r9 270x (not overclocked)
PSU: EVGA 500w
CPU: AMD FX 6300 (cooler came with)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB

I'm planning to upgrade to a NVIDIA GTX 970, (I read something in the reviews that it's already overclocked) and was wondering if my current PSU could handle it. Also could the cpu handle this new GPU?

Also note if this PSU is barely adequate, as I plan in the foreseeable future to upgrade my ram and my cpu.
