Hello,
I am a satisfied costumer from cooler master elite 130 case and gtx 750 ti for a year and half.
But now I decided to get Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE on a sale but I am worried of heat problems, and want to ask for advises.
Here is the link of my rig with the future gpu. (please ignore the warring issues, I can work it out)

1)Should I concern to buy extra cooling fan due the small form size of the case.
2)Will be a heat issues I need to concern of?
3) Any additional advice about possible bottleneck?
4)Any general advice about cooling or to be careful from heat?
5) Additional Notes are always good :)

Thanks for reading.

It may be fine, but a good rule of thumb for stability and ensuring that you don't kill the power supply or video card is that if you don't have the cables needed for the card already on the PSU, a PSU upgrade is a good idea. The adapter may work, and it may continue working, but better not to use it. The VP line is Antec's lowest range, more for basic use systems than gaming systems. I'd replace it with something like...

The wind force will fit fine, also the side of the case is vented more than enough for the card to stay cool, more fans are always good (assuming no disruptive airflow). 450w will suffice providing you do not overclock

When the card recommends 550 watts:

And you only have 450... You do the math..

I apologize, I didn't meant to be rude
And I am sorry if you feel this way, I appreciate your responses.
It is always good to present all the prespactives. You can never know when this thread will help someone one day, and maybe will help others know things they didn't.
Forgive me if you don't feel the same.
