650W is enough for a 770.

I don't see how sata ports is affected by PSU. Can you explain more?

I think OP is concerned about the video card interfering with sata ports. Looking at the picture of that video card, the heatsink shroud doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the PCB. The fan plug at the right as shown on Asus's overview page for the card might interfere with one of the sata ports, but the others will be fine.

Also, for the psu, the number of amps available on the +12V rail is more important than total wattage, but the hx650 bronze provides 52 amps, and 42 is enough:

yes i meant sata ports with gpu cooler sorry

 

[tushardehra]

thnx both for ur reply and i ahve an i5 2500k if i overcloack with hx650 thnx ok?

 

[MauveCloud]

Yes, the HX650 should be enough in that system to allow overclocking an i5 2500k. However, you'll need to upgrade to a P67, Z68, Z75, or Z77 motherboard first. H61 motherboards don't really allow cpu overclocking.

It's normal, don't sweat it. Is it the 5V one? If your system works then you have nothing to worry about.

 

[tushardehra]

5v mean how to check it?

In modern PSUs a pin is removed. Look at this wiki article, and scroll to the "Power Supply" section and read under the 24 pin picture. You'll see the 20th pin is gone and an explanation.

[tushardehra]

didnt get it is it written on box of psu 5v?

 

[envy14tpe]

New PSUs have one pin missing cuz that one isn't used anymore. Your 24pin or 20+4 pin cable is fine. Don't worry.

PSUs get updated. When PSUs updated to ATX12V v1.3 from ATX12V v1.2, the -5V rail was removed. Currently the newest model is ATX12V v2.3
