Okay 500w should handle that no problem, but that is a pretty solid CPU so it should be fine.

You've posted the wrong link. That link just takes everyone to their own most recent parts list, so anyone who has said your components are fine, could potentially be wrong as we have no idea what components you're running. The GTX 970 is a pretty illogical choice at this point since the GTX 10 series, and RX 4** GPUs are out, something from one of those line ups would likely make more sense, depending on the price. Wattage of your PSU is next to irrelevant. A 350W PSU would be plenty for most GTX 970/GTX 1060 systems. Quality matters more than wattage so we need to know the make and model of your PSU to tell you if an upgrade would actually be compatible.
