Depends on how much current it can supply @ 12v and what the 7770 needs - i'm more of an nvidia guy, so someone else can tell you about that.

What I can tell you is that basically, when you start to overload a psu the voltage starts to drop (that is unless the psu fails before that happens). When voltage drops, the regulators on all the other components like the motherboard and gfx card have to start working harder (using more current) to keep the voltage on the system where it needs to be. They will get hotter and ultmately fail themselves if/when they reach their thermal limits or go over it for too long.

Hi buwadsikwate
you are on the limits , just dont push your GPU too hard , it requires 400w and you should be ok till you get your new PSU
