CX500 PSU is enough for Asus GTX 970?

The 970 will work with it. Not the most reliable PSU, though, so if you are buying new, increase your budget for a more reliable and higher-performing PSU. Also, not sure if you heard or not, but the RX 480 comes out in three days and should be cheaper and better than the 970.

We usually argue about good enough and could be better 😉

If buying it new I wouldn't recommend the CX 500. If he already owns it then no need to replace it. But I don't recommend group regulated designs with sleeve bearing fans and unreliable capacitors.

Thanks @turkey3scratch
any suggestion between corsair RM series or EVGA?

It depends on exact model.
