Yes that can easily run them, don't worry about the extra pins because they're shrouded and can't connect to anything to cause problems.

If I remember correctly, it has 4x6+2 pin or 2x6pin and 2x6+2pin PCI-E connectors, and the GTX 970 has 2x6 pin power requirement.
Mainly I'm worried if those left 2 pins in every connector isn't going to damage anything or something.
Is that 750W 80+ Bronze PSU able to handle those 2 cards +
Intel Core i5-4690k OC
ASRock Z97 Extreme3
12-20GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
SAMSUNG SATA2 1TB 7200RPM HDD
Intel SSD 520 120GB SATA3
5 fans (4 LED, 1 on Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO)
LG 25UM65 IPS 21:9 monitor
?
If that's not enough I can give more money for XFX Core 850W or something around that price point.
Now I'm going to buy first card and 1-3 years later second.
Thanks in advance.

I'm Polish so sorry for any mistakes.

Linus showed that 4-way GTX 980s used 610W so GTX 970s SLI would be no problem.

take in consideration the noise it's fan makes (if you live in a country with local temp about 35 it will be really loud ) aside from that it's acceptable -- Not quiet one though
