You need a MINIMAL, 600w, the 770 draws a lot of wattage. If you see yourself expanding the build with sli configs and/or overclocking the GPU/CPU, you might want to consider something a little higher, 750w would be overkill for now, but very future proof for expansion. And seeing as you do want a custom loop cooler and OC, you will want to go with something more than 600w.

Great 750w modular PSU right there, will be perfect because you don't need all the cables at the moment, but in the future you can easily add.

He is looking to expand the build with Open loop cooling and overclocking so I think it would be safer for him to look ahead.

for sli water pump fans e other things you need a extra room. 800W but if you don't want get all these things 550W is the right power supply to you.

Remember when u buy a power supply The best spot is the middle usage. if u get a 80 plus silver you will get 90% efficiency

150w isn't enough for overclocking and water loop?

Ok, then why are you recommending a 550w? He said in the question that he will be upgrading to a water loop.
