Looking at the GTX770

[Wafflemonger]

I'm looking into getting the GTX770 but realize I also need a new PSU. I was curious what size PSU I would need. I won't be doing any sli or anything so it'd be just for the one card.

Looking to stay around the $100 range.

E: I found this PSU and wondering if it would be ok?

That looks fine. Anything over 600W is plenty for a single card. That's a good power supply.

The PSU is 80 Plus Gold certified. While this is an energy efficiency rating, it is also a good indicator of the quality of the PSU. The higher the rating, the more expensive a PSU usually is. The PSU is also plenty enough wattage. You will have some room to play with in the wattage department should you decide to add/change anything in the future. I'd say it's a good fit to your needs.

I'm actually really glad you posted this. I'm happy you put in the PSU calculator, I wasn't honestly sure exactly how much wattage I'd need and it's nice to have since I may end up upgrading my computer later this year again! Sorry for the fast solved
