I purchased this setup after someone on here recomended it, but that gpu specs require 500w. The PSU is 430w +80 bronze. Will that work? Please have a look and see what you think. 500gb hdd and 4gb ram

A 7770 GHZ edition requires just around 85W of power (under 8A). That's why you need the 6-pin connection from the PSU. That power supply has plenty of power to offer a system with your specs and then some. Your power supply has 32A on the 12V with a limit of 384W on the 12V. This gives you almost 300W available to the rest of your system. Plenty of power and a good supply to match with that system.

Sorry. I changed it to 85W:

Even if that card were OC'd, that PSU would provide enough power.
 


So my 500w psu can hande palit gtx 770?
 


A GTX 770 has a very different power requirement than that of a Radeon 7770. If you have the right 500W PSU, it can handle a system with a GTX 770 (standard edition 770 requires around 190W max).

Thanks man but no need im didnt build my pc and i cant see what psu is using but thanks its not corsair or something good like that so 😀
 
In most cases I'd recommend a minimum of an intake and an exhaust fan. I'd only recommend adding fans as necessary after that to keep noise levels down.

That Sentey case is equipped with one rear fan. It doesn't have an intake mount with the exception of the bottom 80mm mount. If you did mount a fan here, the wires from the PSU would be in the way (you could use a cage over the fan if you do find it necessary). The case is well ventilated and if you don't have any hot running hard drives, you should be fine without the intake.

The fewer the fans you have in the system, the quieter it will be. Just keep an eye on the temps using a utility like HWmonitor and make sure nothing falls outside of spec.
