Just a Question.

i was just wondering is a CX500 PSU enough to run a GTX 770 with my current setup?
right now im running an i5-3570K OC'ed to 4.5, 8gb of ram and an msi z77a-g45 mobo and a gtx 660 ti.

Nvidia recommends a 600w PSU for the GTX770. Given that you are already OCing the rig, I would recommend you step up to a 650w PSU to give yourself some overhead and room for growth. 500w is just cutting it too close for an otherwise strong rig.

The official nVidia requirement for the GTX 770 is a 600W PSU. The CX500 would probably power the system, but it's cutting it closer than you should. You would be better off with a quality 600W - 650W PSU to give you a little headroom.

Ha Ha, beat to the punch! Great minds think alike, I guess.
