So I was planning to get an i5 4690K, a Asus Z97 Sabertooth MK1 and a Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Edition.

I have a PSU which is about a year old a CX600M from Corsair.

Question is do I also need to upgrade my PSU to accommodate these upgrades?

No, it's enough juice for those parts. You should be fine.

Thanks for the help guys. Really appreciate it  :D

 

No worries, in future you can use Corsair's, Asus's, Cooler Master or Newegg's PSU calculators to try and find how much juice you need for your system :)
