Solution
Your PSU can handle GTX 970. But to be on safe side, you should upgrade your PSU to 500+ watts. It is recommended to have at least 20% more wattage than your PC can consume.
Hello

You should be able to, but I would not recommend it. When choosing a power supply, you always want a bit of headroom. In this case it might be cutting it close. So I would recommend at least a 550W power supply when going SLI. There are power supply calculators availble online that can help give you an indication. They can help you estimate the size you need.

Hope this helps 😀
