GTX 780 on this PSU! HELP!

Solution
Had a 780 since launch, using it at 1163Mhz+memory overclock, 3570K at 4.5Ghz, 520w Seasonic PSU, all works. Provided the PSU with that case is actually up to snuff and its not just rumour (but with a 80+ Gold rating, I don't see that happening), it will work.

The GTX 780 requires a 600w power supply, although I may recommend you buying a 750w so its not using all of the PSU.

You could run a GTX 780 in your system but it would have to be underclocked (opposite of overclocking). 500w will not be able to handle it sadly at stock speeds.
