From: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02741906
your power-supply is 320 Watts.
From: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/GTX970DC2OC4GD5BLACK/specifications/
> PCI Express 3.0
> up to 300W -- additional 6+8 pin PCIe power required
From: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02778024.pdf
> 4.2.2 PCI Express Bus Operation
> The PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 bus is a high-performace [sic] extension of the legacy (PCI 2.3) bus specification.
So, the graphics adapter is 3.0, while the motherboard is 2.0.
Hmm.
