I would suggest using that PSU at all. Its low quality garbage and only has a single 18a 12v rail which is just absolutely horrible. Nvidia recommends atleast 24a on the 12v rail for a 550ti. 19a for the HD7770. By using a PSU like that you put the rest of the components in the system at risk of being damaged.

Never skimp on a PSU! (sometimes it can be deadly!) These PSU's may state this power but in most cases, they are giving out awful output. I recommend that you buy a PSU with a thing called '80 plus bronze'. These PSUs have been tested and give adequate output at high loads. Here are a few very good PSUs:

If there are any budget issues, don't hesitate to tell us! These are a bit more expensive but are definitely worth it!
