Visiontek 650w good enough for 770 and 4670k?

Basically what the title says. Dont wanna upgrade psu right now if i dont need to. I've read mixed reviews on visiontek psu's, am i ok using it with the other listed components in the title?

Yes, 650W should be plenty. The CPU generally doesn't consume a massive amount of power, so your GPU is usually the concern.
If you've been running it in your build stably for a while, it should be okay. But from what I've read, you may want to lightly consider a better brand such as Seasonic or Corsair, albeit pricy.

Thank you. I got the Visiontek as a budget psu when my good psu went. I've wanted to upgrade but just recently got back to work. thanks for your quick answer!

I'd strongly suggest getting one from a more reputable brand.

550W+ is enough for those components, but many cheap PSUs often can't do rated wattage. I wouldn't risk it with the Visiontek.

Look in the second link in my sig for a list of good PSUs.
