A family member is buying me an EVGA 500B power supply for the holidays because originally i was going to buy a EVGA 760, EVGA informed me that I'd be able to run that card without any issues however now I have an extra $70 to spend on a graphics card, the EVGA 770 is in my price range. Minimum requirements in an average* system are 600w 42amps on the 12v rail, my thinking is since my system runs a little lower on power according to Pcpartpicker and eXtreme that i'd be able to somehow get around this 2amp. Asking for a diffrent power supply is out of the question, I'd feel horrible inside.

Is there anything I can do? remove a RAM stick, set maximum processor state to 85% , anything. Im using about 200w without a graphics card
