i recently ordered a computer from cyberpowerpc and i chose the gtx 770 and an i5 4670k for it. the website said i only needed a 500w psu, so i got a corsair 500w psu. but recently ive heard that a 600w psu is needed for the 770, will it still run good without performance issues? also cyberpower has processed the order and has not told me about any issues. i was just worried about this and just wanted to check with some more experienced people about PCs than myself. thank you
Will my PSU a nd GPU be okay?

I would get a 650w for a 770 card.

The only issue would be if there aren't enough PCI-e connections. If you have an 80+ PSU, then it should handle a single card easily. CyberpowerPC shouldn't ship out a PC that isn't able to handle itself, and if they do, that's their fault.
You won't be able to SLI, but I doubt that would be an issue. I'd also stay away from OCing.
Now, if you want to overclock, that's a different story, but at stock settings, you'll be fine.
Tom's Review shows a maximum power draw of 246Ws from the card (not the whole system). Given that, and using stock settings, I'd be comfortable with 500W if there are enough PCI-e connections.

The OP chose the Corsair CX500.
With an EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SuperClocked.
I wouldn't trust that power supply with that system configuration. It doesn't have enough +12V rail current capacity to properly power the system.

It does have enough currents on the 12V rail but the CX are among the cheapest Corsair PSU and it's fail rate is among the highest as well for Corsair units. I still stand my point, it's usable and enough for the GTX 770, but adding overclocking (CPU and GPU), capacitor aging over time, it's best to get something a little better.
