You can but shouldn't, you need about 550W for that setup and trouble free operation.

On paper thats around 300w build wise.

An evga 430 does have the physical capability to power that card with a molex adapter.
In essence no 970 I've ever used really has the necessity for twin power plugs.

That said im not an advocate of using adapters , I have uses them in the past with no ill effect , I don't anymore.
Not when you can buy a decent psu with twin 8 pins for around $50 or so.
