$160 still worth to buy? Box and cables with distro warranty for 1yr c/o ubertech 
 

And one thing this card fit in this PSU? M12II 520 WATTS 80+ BRONZE?

Well, I won't fit in it, but it will power it just fine.

That's total power for the system. Not the card itself. The card might pull 200ish watts by itself under full load, but that's it.

No?

Yeah, that's a pretty good card for 1080p. I'm actually considering getting one myself.

Though it means I'd have to get 16GB of RAM, and RAM is expensive...

According to my PC.,..GTX970 = 190w-195w when overclocked to 1501/3507Mhz

Typical load is 150-170w without overclocks in games that DO use the GPU to 100%.

OP - I also ran this GPU at stock on my Mothers i5 PC with a 450w PSU for many months just fine before moving it elsewhere.

I was looking at TechPowerUp's numbers and went slightly above it. I'm not trying to provide exact numbers because cards will vary. TPU achieved 192W from the wall during peak loads for the MSI GTX 970. The numbers are for the card itself. If the card was overclocked, it will go past that.

I've had two GTX 970s, one of them natively powered itself to 120% power... sat at 200w. lol Could not change it. So weird but was outperforming the other one I couldn't OC passed 112% power.

But yeah, good value, much buy, do share links to buy

 

Oh, and you may now know but there was the controversy over the 970s in that they had 3.5GB of DDR5 with an extra 500MB tacked on. You don't notice until you hit 3.5GB used then you might notice slow downs in some games, but it's nothing upsetting really.
