Is my PSU enough for a new gtx 970 and is my rig all that compatible with it?

I've been thinking of an upgrade for a while now, and been wondering, if with my xfx 550w PSU I could power the new gtx 970, and would there be any bottlenecks to it if I were to use an i5-4670k with it. The rig is just a few months old so nothing wrong with that. Possibly just can get more out of my computer fairly soon so was just wondering if it was possible 😛

sure, and there shouldn't be any bottlenecks

Unless you're already scraping the edge of what your PSU can do with your current build (and are running a 750 or less :V), the 970 will be fine in there.
