GTX 970 Power

[Buggu]

I am swapping some components in my PC. I currently have a Corsair RM450 power supply, 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 RAM, and an Intel i7-4970K processor. My new system will have an ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac motherboard. If I also get an MSI GTX 970 GPU to "future-proof" (I currently have a GTX 960), will I also need to buy a new PSU?

you could try to use the old ones. but i think a 550w is needed.

With 37.5 Amps on the RM450's +12V Rail It's good enough to run an Nvidia GTX 970, you could even say with ease. However overclocking wouldn't be recommended.
