Will my setup handle a GTX 970?

Hi,

My current build is around 3 years old or so (OcUK build):

​Power Supply: Corsair GS 600w PSU
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ approx. 4.20GHz Ivybridge CPU
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX2 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Cooler: Alpenfohn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz
Graphics Card: OcUK GeForce Nvidia GTX 670 2048MB GDDR5


Was thinking of just upgrading to a GTX 970 for now and then upgrade other components down the line?

Will I see good results? Will the other hardware be ok for now?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply! Now to find one at a good price!

Thanks again! I just figure the GPU is the 'easiest' thing to change for a novice?

Will do!!

I'd say the GPU is the only part of that system that lets it down at all. A 970 would be perfect.

Good to know!

Can anyone provide some links to some good deals? A bit overwhelmed!
