So I'm new to pc gaming, I just bought a gaming pc a month ago but i just realized how bad it is. This is the one i bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227510&cm_re=ibuypower-_-83-227-510-_-Product.
Now i want to replace the graphics card with a msi geforce gtx 970 and add 2 8gb ram sticks. Will this work with the cpu, motherboard, and power supply?

No, you would have to have a minimum of a 500W PSU and this has a 350W. Also your CPU will severely bottleneck your GPU, but it would still be a huge improvement over your current one. As for the ram, I would try and get one 8gb stick to add to your existing 4gb for a total of 12gb (people say they will conflict but I have 3 4gb sticks and it works fine).
