New build, bought a CM G550M since I was told that this is a quality PSU for single GPU system. On the box of my GTX 780 Ti it says a minimum of 600W PSU is needed. Do I need to replace mine?

The EVGA Supernova 650 G2 is the best 650W on the market, and i would strongly recommend that one.
That would be the minimum for such a system, and it's always good to have a bit of headroom. If you can return the CM, do so and get a good 650W instead. What are the rest of your specs?
The 780ti requires 42A on the 12V rail, and that PSU has just that, so it would work, but it would really cut the edge.
 


Thanks a lot! Rest of specs:

Core i5 6400
motherboard Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H
8 GB DDR4
1 TB harddrive
250GB SSD

I'm looking at 650W PSU's right now. Any specific one you can recommend? The Corsair RM650 for example?
