I'm planning to upgrade to a GTX 770 in 3-4 months, will my PSU suffice (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) or is an upgrade needed? I will not be OC'ing this one till later.

No need to upgrade. It's totally enough unless you plan to SLI in the future, you need to upgrade to at least 750W or 850W. :)

Depending on what else you have in your PC you should be fine. The 770 requires a recommended 600W and 42A over the 12V rails. That PSU has 2 x 38A 12V rails. :)

I will not be doing any SLI's, I'm good with one GPU :)  Thanks for the quick replies guys.

that's more than enough to run an OC'd cpu, OC'd 770 and a disco ball.

not sure about a fog machine . . .

How the HELL did you know that I have a DISCO BALL running with my set-up?! XD
Thanks for the reply, gives me more assurance and faith in my old PSU. I have my CPU OC'ed but I would not be doing the same to the GPU, not until I upgrade my PSU, maybe 6-12 months later.

Most of the 770's are pre-overclocked so you won't have to worry about it. :)
