So right now i have a WD blue 1tb hard drive in my pc, i have about 700 gigs left. I play BF4 a good amount and i have about 300 dollars, should i get a 500gb samsung evo ssd right now or should i get a gtx 970? I dont know which one i should get because right now, even bf4 plays at 30+ fps on low settings on my i5-4590 with intel 4400 graphics which honestly is quite impressive. but i dont like having to wait 2 mins for the game to load. Which one should i get first? Sorry if this is a dumb question as well...
 


Yes, it's plenty. Antec makes good power supplies. You should be fine. Check the PCIe power connections your 970 uses and make sure the Antec has support for it.

First thing I'd recommend IF your trying to play BF4 with built in video: Get the GTX 970.
BUT, You could always look around and try to go middle of the road for both. If you haven't had an SSD drive in your machine before. The difference is Night and Day for any load times. <--- I can't imagine needing to go back to just a normal drive for everything.
My current setup is a 128GB SSD for OS and a couple main games I play, and then I have a 1TB normal drive as a secondary that I put all my other programs on.
