no would recomend to upgrade to 600 w atleast but you can use the 970 with 500w but you cant boost clock the 970 or i3 4130

I would recommend a better PSU if its a VS, CX or CS from Corsair. But since you already have it then would work just fine.  Look at my rig below, everything has a higher TDP than your components but it all runs fine.

Given the CPU TDP of 54W and 970 TDP of 145W (maybe a bit more when factory overclocked) you're not even half way to 500W. Should be fine assuming there's nothing else really power hungry in the system, and generally the GPU and CPU will be the biggest two power consumers in a desktop.

 

Even if the CPU then bottlenecks, it would still be faster than the 750Ti which would probably be the old bottleneck. There will always be something bottlenecking.
