770 w/ psu?

[pandaturtle64]

I have a 770 GTX 4gb, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182076 running it with an i5-3570. I don't want to put in the graphics card because I don't know what will happen.

what brand and model and power output is your PSU? Look at the label on the side of the PSU for the information. A picture of that label would be wonderful.

Sorry, missed it. That is not enough power to run a 770. Good you didn't install it.
Nvidia recommends, for a GTX 770, a minimum 600Watt power supply for the entire system with at least 42Amps on the +12V rail and depending upon the either 1 6pin and 1 8pin or 2 8pin PCI-E connectors.
The Rosewill Stallion has only one PCI-E connector (6 pin) and is only rated to a total of 31 amps;
It will not power your system and a single GTX 770 video card

In addition the Stallion series by Rosewill is NOT a well made unit. It doesn't have Active Power Factor Correction (obvious from the red switch in the back) and the manufacture is not a top-of-the-line company, Solytech. The Rosewill CAPSTONE series is a very good PSU made by Super Flower, and you might want to consider upgrading to it. I would suggest one of these, or another unit from a reputable company/manufacture: Corsair (not the RM series, to new and has or had bugs), Seasonic, XFX, Antec, EVGA V Series. And I would probably buy too much power, but I wouldn't go under 620Watts, and check the amps on the 12V.

All three are good psu's. They appear in the below list as Tier 2 units; tier 2 are simply very good psu's with a little lower price tag or higher availability.

I, myself, would go with the Corsair TX: 5 year warranty, quality build, and I have dealt with Corsair Customer Service several times in the last 10 years and my experience with them has been outstanding. IMHO they are the best with their customers. This is the PSU in my one of my grandson's PC, nary a hiccup from it in nearly 2 years, and he games.
Next would be the ThermalTake. I have no experience with them.
Last is OCZ. OCZ has been around for a long time, so it was very saddening when they announced bankruptcy about 4-6 weeks ago. For that reason Alone I would not buy their PSU! The matter of warranties has not been worked out in the courts so there is no assurance that they or anyone else will honor the warranty. In addition, when employees are told that they may be about to lose their jobs, generally the quality of their work will take a serious negative hit.
(Son-in-law bought an Alienware PC just as Alienware sold out to Dell. It was assembled so poorly and had so many problems that even Alienware support couldn't sort it out - with two units as he exchanged the first one - that he finally ended up getting his money back)
You don't need that headache.
I'd go with the Corsair.
