What make and model is your power supply and how old is it? Also depends on what else you have in your system.

It sips power. You're gonna be more than fine with a 600 watt PSU.

you will be fine, but I would recommend that you go for a graphics card that is not the reference card as they have much better cooling.

My 600 watt psu is powering a 970, you should be fine

i kind of want the reference card because it looks cooler and my build is mobile and has two side windows on each side so i kind of want it for showing off. i think this case would do right? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-cc9011060ww

case should be fine, but it will be a tight build and there will be no noise dampening, so you might want to go for a card that runs silent at low usage or has better fans than the reference, becuse that one will be rather loud. Most of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=gtx+970&N=-1&isNodeId=1 will likely be better in terms of noise, and in my opinion looks way cooler and is much better for showing off than the stock model.

 

edit: just looked at your build, and you may want to consider throwing in a 1tb + HDD just for game storage, considering that games these days can be 50GB+
