I have an ultra 650W PSU I was wondering if that creates enough power, to effectively run the I5 3570k @4.5 paired with an Windforce Gtx 770? If not, what would you recommend as an upgrade to be able to run the two efficiently. Thanks for your time! :)

Hey
no need to say thanks my friend. We are here to help.
But if you want to sli with gtx 770 then you have to buy a new 750w psu.
Buy may i ask, why are you going to sli with gtx 770. You can play all games on high settings at 1080p and you can use duel monitor with one 770gtx gpu. You can also do video editing HD work with one gtx 770 gpu.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.

Hey 650w psu is enough for your whole rig with one gtx 770 gpu. You can oc. No problem. But if you want to run 2 gtx 770s then you will need 750w minimum.
But choose from a better brand like corsair, sesonic, or xfx.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.

Big no no no no for an Ultra PSU...

Ultra is not know for high quality PSUs; they've made a couple of decent ones but I think that was by mistake. That particular PSU is a new series with little info on it.
One really bad indication is that the 650W PSU you linked can only provide 456W on the 12V rails.
Compare that with the Seasonic M12II-520 that can provide 480W on the 12V rail and you should understand that this particular Ultra 650W PSU is a POS.
Considering that the Seasonic is just a few dollars more, is 80+ Bronze, has a 5yr warranty, rock solid rails, and is made by the arguably best PSU mfr;
I would would buy it over that Ultra any day of the week. If you're worried about the lifetime warranty...good luck with customer support.


and lastly,
For such a expensive highend graphics card, don't push your luck too much..
