So i am a first time pc builder but have done a lot of research before building. i bought the majority of all my parts (everything but the graphics card) and would love to get a gtx 770. I am wondering if my cx500 will support the gtx 770 and if not then what is the best nvidia (im an nvidia fanboy) card that it will support? Also i will be using msi's oc genie to oc my system

My system specs will be:
MoBo - Msi Z77a-G45
Cpu - I5-3570k
Case - cougar solution
Psu - Corsair cx500
Boot drive - Sandisk 64 gb ssd
Storage - Seagate barracuda 7200 1 tb hdd
Cooler - Corsair H80i
Memory - 2 sticks of crucial ballistix sport 8 gb (2 x 4gb)
Graphics card - ???

i will be using it for gaming, video editing/rendering, photo editing, and 3d animation

Any help would be appreciated 😀

That gpu should run on that PSU fine, you wont have much headroom but it will still run everything. You will have to upgrade it if you need upgrade anything else. As for the card itself the 770 is a great card to run on that psu.


alright, thank you so much. Can't wait to get it
