no i don,t think i need SLI in future with the GTX 770
i don,t have Specific budget for the power supply , any good power supply with haswell Compatible well be good :D
i don,t know what watt should i take , and what should i choose bronze , silver , gold !?


 
Look its not always the wattage that matters
Another thing that matters is the continous current output from +12v rail


Xfx seasonic are best brands for psu

[/B]For a system with a 4770k and gtx 770 with overclocking room for i7 i would suggest a minimum of 43amps of current [/b]

I wud reccommend this



Power Supply: XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($64.99 @ NCIX US)

Actually if you are not overclocking 550 will be enough :) (system will be at 450-470W)

the rating is the efficiency , the amount of power you loose in heat is reduced ...
