MSI N770 Lightning
Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W
MSI B75A-G43 LGA 1155
Team Elite 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge 3.2GHz
Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

This will be my first time building a pc so i hope everything will work. However, my question is will the power supply work with this video card? Im not sure if i need a 2x 6+2 pin connectors for my powersupply.

That graphics card does appear to need two 8-pin (or 6+2 pin) PCIe power connectors. It comes with a couple of 6 to 8 pin adapters though; one of them is probably safe to use. You may be limited in how much you can overclock it though.
The PSU should be sufficient. It's not a Seasonic (or Super Flower, like the Capstone), but it reviewed well.

Well... 2 will need 2x 6 pin connectors for the GTX 670 (I have one and its a beast). I would also HIGHLY recommend a modular power supply, which allows you to use only the cables you need. This is not only easier to build with, but also makes cable management a million times easier . I have 2 of these power supplies (430w and 750w) and they perform excellently! I'd recommend 500 or 600 watts...

SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply.

This will get the job done.

being $30 more, i really don't see how this is any much better than the rosewell. Thx guys for the suggestions but I'm not really looking in switching to a different power supply(as long as my current one works) as my order has already been placed. I just wasn't sure if i needed a 2x 8 pin or if im going to have issue using a 1x 8pin

G-unit, that card has a pair of 8-pin connectors on it, but comes with a couple of 6->8 pin adapters.
