ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card on i5 3330 processor
1. Will it be able to play all nex gen games at 60 fps on ultra settings??
2. Do i need to update anything??
3. I know the main problem is that it is bit slim so need to have a bigger cabinet.
4. i think that it would need more power supply... but i am not so sure... Please give me some solutions and procedures for it... i am afraid that it would not bottle neck my pc. Thanks in advance!!
Please everyone give me answers in Rs i am an indian... Thanks for all of your help!

You might want to just add 4gb of ram. That should be a very good pc for gaming. You won't be able to play all games at ultra settings at 60fps. There are a few exceptions but you can compromise on settings a bit.

why not?

1. Will it be able to play all nex gen games at 60 fps on ultra settings??

who knows? in the future there probably going to be a very demanding game that even titan x can't get above 30FPS

2. Do i need to update anything??

software? or hardware?

3. I know the main problem is that it is bit slim so need to have a bigger cabinet.

if you have slim type case then 970 won't fit. and there is no low profile design for high end card such as 970. you need to look the card dimension and that make measurement to your case.

4. i think that it would need more power supply... but i am not so sure... Please give me some solutions and procedures for it... i am afraid that it would not bottle neck my pc. Thanks in advance!!

since this is OEM machine you might need PSU upgrade. but if your case were using PSU that made for small case then you will have problem with PSU. unless you get different case.

probably your power supply. nvidia recommends 500w non generic PSU for 970.

Not according to this, you are well short on the psu. the 620 or 7570 are the best.As stated you will need a better PSU

It also depends on the monitor you are using. If you are suing anything above 1080p, its a problem.

Also, you cannot just utilize your gpu. All you can do it is overclock it.

Its not like when you increase power supply beyond a limit, the performance is gonna improve too. The psu is just like a cut off mark. Anything at or above the recommended psu is good enough.

As for cabinet, you should know best as you see it in person. If you feel you need more space, you need more space.

Also, mention your budget, it may prove useful for suggestions.
