I run a 500 w on a gtx 970 run just fine, I did a lot of research on Power Supply I found out you can over kill on Power Supply, one thing they all say get a good QUALITY Power Supply a cheap Power Supply will not cut it.

No. The GTX 970 has a minimum System Power Requirement of 500Watts.

The total dissipated power of the GTX 970 is 145W on the +12V rail. The 500W power supply requirement is due to the crappy power supplies that can't deliver the power needed on the +12V rail.

depends on the rest of the system

with an 3rd/4th/5th gen i3/i5/i7 and 1hdd, 1ssd and much else cx430 or a quality 450w psu

with lower TDP CPUs like most of the Intel ones; u should not have any problems running a GTX 970 on even a CX 430 or CX 500. If you run an AMD Phenom or FX with higher TDP like 95W and higher; then a higher PSU (such as CX 600) might be needed, due to the higher TDP of your CPU.

The minimum PSU is all BS; to cover those who have poor PSUs. In which case most poor 500-watt, like a DiabloTek isn't even good enough.

Always use one like 80+ Certified Bronze or Gold from quality brands with good support; and you shouldn't have issues. What you need to worry more about is the overall TDP of the GPU; the Amps that needs, and also the minimum PCIE Power Connection requirements. As you always want to avoid using any power adapters for GPUs.

GTX 970 needs 28 amps on 12V rail and PSU with two 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors. It can run on good 500W PSU with Intel build.
I would get decent quality 550W PSU though, 750W for running two.

This is wrong 500W is the minimum.

The GTX 970 wattage requirement is 500 Watts. It requires 800Watts in 2-way SLI mode. The power draw itself is a TDP of 145 watts at 30AMP's

[InfinityJosh]

500 watt is recommended.

Well in my defense, I did provide an actual answer or a the very lest a proof to that.
