Yes. Though you would obviously want a decent one at 500W so that it can actually put the power that it claims out.

Yes with a big BUT

You need a really decent 500W psu. What is your brand of your old 500W psu? We will check it for you.

Hello... your GPU(GTX970) 145 watts + your CPU(i7 6700k) 95 watts= 240 watts @12Vdc rail 240/12= 20 amps @12Vdc minimum + some % (20-100) safety/OC/ambient/efficiency factor added on.

Open your case and take digital of the Electrical label on the PS, and post it to IMG site for us B )

Hello... THX for the great pic B )
your CPU will need 95/12=7.9 amps off of +12V1
your GPU will need 145/12=12 amps from +12V2

You should be fine B ) remember too keep cool air to your system with the placement of the case.
