You are already a bit short at stock settings based upon available recommendations:

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-780/specifications

780 Thermal and Power Specs:
95 C = Maximum GPU Tempurature (in C)
250 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
600 W = Minimum System Power Requirement (W)
One 8-pin and one 6-pin = Supplementary Power Connector

SLI - 600 + n x (250) = 850 watts for 2 cards

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_780_review,9.html

Subjective obtained GPU power consumption (780) = ~ 231 Watts

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 780 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 780 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 780 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1200 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

It's a 250 watt card so I would say probably yes, the card requires ~40 amps on the 12v rail, I couldn't find amperage on that psu so you'll have to look at the psu itself to see if it has 40 amps on the 12v rail. If not you'll need a better psu.

so i heard that the gtx 780 oc can be run on psu 550 watts but the card needs 42 A from the psu so the question is my power can output the 42 A or less ?

and if my psu can output less than 42 A is that can damage the card ?

this is my psu info
