A decent 550W unit is more than enough.

Thanatos Telos · Jul 13, 2013

550w won't give much OC headroom. Get a decent 600-650w PSU.

Novuake · Jul 13, 2013

Thanatos Telos :

Non-K CPU? Nor does the GTX770 have much more headroom to OC either.

dirtyninja :

The recommended PSU for a TOTAL system with a GTX770 is 500W. Yet it draws much much lees than that.
