Its always better to get 1 good card then 2 weaker cards. So assuming your psu can handle it definitely the 970.

You have enough wattage but you are taking a risk by using that PSU for gaming. It really isn't built for it.
CX PSUs are Tier 4: "Tier Four
Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice."

That psu is not meant for a gaming build. In terms of wattage a 600 would be good. But in terms of quality it is lacking. Here is a quality unit. The 970 reccomends a 500watt.
