So, this past summer I bought a gaming rig for a really decent price. However, with Christmas coming up, I'd like to upgrade the GPU and PSU for my rig. Sadly, I'm not quite sure what my PSU currently is, but I'm certain it needs to be improved. So, my question is two things:

One:
Will this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153166
Power this GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CIyoxriKqbsCFcFj7AodGBEAUQ&Item=N82E16814130946&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Graphics+Cards-_-N82E16814130946&ef_id=UjtKrQAABTQvjnOR:20131211211003:s
(Or any GTX 770, really.)

Two:
Will said GTX 770 (dual slot) fit this motherboard (M-ATX): http://www.msi.com/product/mb/760GM-P23--FX-.html#/?div=Basic

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to view my post! I really appreciate it!

The TR2 is crap, so don't get that one for sure.
XFX Core Pro550W will run your GPU fine.
So generally you were in the right wattage range but basically you want a PSU from:
Antec,Corsair,Seasonic or XFX that has at least 42A on the 12V rail and at least that 550W of wattage.


On the mother board front you will be fine.

It just said on the info page for the GTX 770, that a PSU of at least 600 watts is required to run the card, so I wasn't sure. I appreciate the quick answer, by the way. Thank you very much. :)
By the way, although I am trying to stay relatively cheap, I was hoping to find a PSU of at least 600+ watts, anyways. Any way you could help me out with that?

System Requirements: 600 watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 42 amps on the +12 volt rail.

How about this cheap Antec 620W 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply for $40 at Newegg?

You should consider this XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply too. Its a great PSU for $70 at NCIX:

I'm not sure if this is a silly question, but do you know if the Antec PSU you suggested has enough connectors to power the MOBO I have, and a BluRay CD/DVD drive?
