Hi Alien Head,
We need to know exactly what PSU you are using, not just that it is 450W. The wattage isn't the only important aspect of power supplies.

I'm specifically asking for the maker of the PSU.
Do you know which company produced your power supply? If not you can usually see it by opening up your case and looking at the labeling on the power supply.

Antec makes PSU's of varying quality, and without being sure of it's exact make/ model it is hard to give you 100% accurate advice. Honestly I think you might just be able to get away with it as long as you're not going to overclock anything.
On your average system the 970 card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_970_gaming_review,7.html

No problem, that's probably a good call. Always worth making sure you've got enough reliable power.
