I don't think so. Really not a smart thing to do.

Well good luck splitting the 20 pin motherboard connector.
Also keep in mind they would need to be very close and they would have to be on at the same time.

If you mean power ONLY the 7770, then don't do that. You should run all components on the same PSU to avoid ground loops.

This sounds like a really bad idea. What is powering the motherboard on your old computer then?

If you want consult an electrician or someone with similar skills to give you feedback.
