Would this build work ok?
I already built a PC almost a year ago, but I want to upgrade my gtx 660 to a gtx 970.
there's 3 things concerning me.

1. Will my Corsair CX 500W handle this model?
http:// (note it sais it needs 550w but when i put it on pc builder with all my parts it said max WATT was about 320 something)

2. will that gpu work with that PSU (in terms of pin connectors and what not)

3. Will that GPU fit inside my case? (pcparts said that it could interfere with drives since it's a large gpu) this is my case: http://

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Depending on the version of the 970 you buy, you might need to remove the bottom drive cage. With the drive cages it supports graphics cards up to 10.6". Without the drive cage it supports cards up to 15.4".
