Hi guys, new to the forum.

Long story short, my GTX570 died and I'm looking at this GPU as a replacement.

GV-N770OC-4GD

Problem is it says a 600W PSU is required with dual 8 pin PCIe connector. While I do have a 600w PSU it only has 1 6+2 pin connector a 1 6 pin connector.

My question is will this PSU ,Smart SE 730W, power my entire PC? It has the connectors, I'm just not too sure about the power.

Here are my specs:

i7 2600 (non K).
4x8GB DDR3 1333MHZ.
3xHDD 5400RPM.
DH67CL motherboard.
Plus the aforementioned GPU .GV-N770OC-4GD

Thanks.

Yes it is much better but your rig would run fine on a 550watt quality PSU so the same from Seasonic in 550-650watts would do the job.
I would get a 750W seasonic psu or a cosair one as they are much more efficient and are trusted brands. But, you could go with that psu and it would work. Also, for the gpu, I would have gone with a 280X as it has much more bang for the buck.
