Quick noobish question.

[Rise Tragedy]

I just have a quick noobish question that I myself probably already know the answer to, but i'm just not getting. I've decided that I want to upgrade my graphics card from a 650 Ti Boost to a GTX 970. I got this 650 last year around this time (christmas) and ended up having to buy a brand new power supply, as well. Before the 650, I had a cute little 610. I believe I went from a 500W to a 600W power supply. So here's my question. Will I be able to upgrade to a 970 without having to get a brand new Power Supply? Or would the 970 consume too much power for my 600W?

Minimum System Power Requirement for 650ti is 400w, for 970 is 500w

Ahhh! Thank you Invisibull! After last year, I'm a little worried about the Power Supply, only because I had bought my 650 at Best Buy for $200, got home, installed it, turned on my PC, only to find out that my Power Supply wasn't good enough for the 650. So I ended up having to go back out and spend another $200 on a new Power Supply. $200 OVER my intended spending amount! I don't want a repeat of that, again, this year! :P Thank you, again!
