This would be enough for you http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr

and cheap.

 

And yes it would fit that computer looks remarkably standard inside, are you sure gtx 970 will fit inside or did you measure it already?

I currently have a semi-decent desktop computer that I've purchased around this time last year and within it is a GeForce GT 620 graphics card. I'd like to upgrade my graphics card to the GeForce GTX 970 but unfortunately I only have a 280W PSU, which I understand can be a problem. Can you suggest a PSU that's sufficient to power my entire system in a whole yet keep it budget? Thanks in advance!

This is the exact computer I purchased:

EDIT: Is this PSU compatible with my system? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
