PSU Uncertainties

    Hi lads, I was wondering if you could suggest a good PSU for my build?

    Here's the specs:
    MB: ASUS H87-PLUS
    CPU: i7-4770
    RAM: 2x 4GB 1600MHz DDR3
    HDD: 1TB Western Digital Blue
    PSU: Corsair CX500
    Case: Antec One
    Fans: 2x 120mm case fans + stock CPU fan

    I'm looking to upgrade to a GTX 970 (Or a 770) and I don't think the PSU will be up for the job.
    I was looking at the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1 (Can't post URL) on Amazon but I'm no PSU expert. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    PSU is fine for either of those cards.

    No, what I meant was that your CX500 is more than enough for either of those video cards. No need to upgrade.
