Is 500w enough to run this?

Hi all, I would like to know if a Corsair CX500 Power Supply could run this?

Motherboard - MSI H81I LGA1150 Mini-ITX
Processor - Intel i5 4690k
RAM - Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz
Graphics - GTX 970
Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5 7200RPM 64MB Cache

Just for your information;
I currently own the Power Supply, Motherboard and RAM, and would just like to know if the power supply is powerful enough for the full build.

Thank you in advance

Yes, 500w will run that easily.

Yeah, it'll be fine. I was using a 400W until a couple of months ago...

no problem for a good PSU.

You could almost do 970 SLI on that. I say almost because depending on what version of the CX500 you have it has 408w or 456w on the 12v rail. The GTX 970 is a extremely efficient card.
