Power supply and graphics card

[Samfhd]

I want to upgrade my gaming pc, what I have right now is

CPU - Intel i5-3570k
GPU - gigabyte 7850 2gb
RAM - corsair 16gb
Motherboard - asrock pro4-m
Psu - I think it's 550w
Hard drive - 1tb
But anyway I want to upgrade my graphics card, the card I'm looking at is the asus gtx 770 which needs 600w so what watt power supply would I need to make everything work?

Also any ideas on good cooling solutions(no water cooling) and cases, I would really appreciate it if you could answer this, thanks

If you plan on SLIing in the future; go with a -good- 750W. Although I tend to prefer 850W.

But if you only plan on running one card, a XFX 650W would do great, or a Seasonic 650W (usually the XFX is cheaper, but still made by Seasonic)

A power supply in the 600-750 would work well. What kind of case are you looking for.

I like a quiet case, so I chose this case:

I chose this cooler:

I'm not going to sli, I don't think there is any point because I only play on 1 monitor, but 650w power supply even though gpu needs 600w alone? Sorry I don't know much about pc that's why I'm here

 

[terry4536]

It is your PC. If you are more comfortable with a 750 watt power supply, a 750 watt PSU will work fine

The GPU doesn't need 600W by itself. The 600W recommended by the manufacturer is for the whole system.

I do like that corsair case but. I want something where I can see into it, because I want some white led lights in the case so it will look good of a night while I'm gaming. Price doesn't really matter for me. Thanks

So let's say a 650w would do fine?

I don't know your taste in cases, but I really like Corsair cases. Here's a list of Corsair ATX mid-tower cases with side panel windows:

Yes, any quality PSU 600W or more will work fine. The Seasonic 620W PSU I linked above will work well with your components.

Is this a good option? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020077-UK-Builder-Series-Semi-Modular/dp/B00GN8VZ7U/ref=sr_1_13?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1393374220&sr=1-13&keywords=Power+supply+600

I'm heading out the door. If I had known you were in the UK I would have been using UK retailers. Anyway, the CS650M is decent, but cheaps out a little on the capacitors. The 620W Seasonic PSU is a higher quality unit.

Decent (XFX 650W PSU)

or get the SeaSonic 620W psu, both are great PSUs!
